Luo Yu carefully took Lynch all the way back to his dormitory. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Gently helped Lynch cover the quilt, and looked at Lynch, who was still asleep without the slightest movement, she sighed and looked out the window.

Outside was still quiet and gloomy, not much changed from usual, but it was less popular than it should be, and even the staff of the academy were nowhere to be seen.

She remembered the conversation she had with Ying Lan before leaving.

"Luo Yu, did you go to the return ceremony before?" Ying Lan looked at Luo Yu, who carefully picked up Lynch, and her eyes were a little dazed.

"Hmm. ”

"After a thousand years, the ritual of return has been reopened, and although this time it is only Ulduar, it will definitely not be Ulduar alone—you should know it. ”

Luo Yu looked down at Lynch in his arms and corrected, "It should be called His Highness Ulduar." ”

Ying Lan smiled dumbly: "Your grandfather's family education is really strict, so what about now?

Luo Yu hugged Lynch back into his chair and stroked Lynch's dark eyes with his hand, but did not respond to Arashi's words.

Ying Lan leaned against the wall, looking at the tall clock tower outside the window, and her voice sounded relaxed: "Chalmo can't reopen the return ceremony on his own, even if he is one of the three chiefs. But I don't understand why he has the support, the returners can't be only royalty, as long as they are the successors of the fire, they can return, and-"

She looked at Luo Yu, but Luo Yu lowered her head as if she hadn't heard, and the shadows obscured all her expressions.

"Then there will be another opening up in the past thousand years, the scope of the fire will be expanded again, and the range of activities that can be carried out by the fire will also be expanded again, this is not a simple sense of going out to explore, you should know what kind of price will be paid for every exploration in history. ”

Ying Lan didn't say anything more, she looked at the clock tower, as if she was fascinated, and the whole room was silent.

"I can't think about it so much, I'm not as smart as you. Luo Yu opened his mouth to break the unpleasant silence.

Ying Lan looked at Luo Yu, who was still bowing her head, a smile suddenly bloomed on her face, she slowly walked towards Luo Yu, leaned down, lifted her chin with one hand, and forced Luo Yu to look at her.

The faces of the two men were very close together.

"I know you don't like to hear these things, but your grandfather ...... Forget it, Luo Yu, hurry up and get stronger, there will be many, many things that will happen after this return ceremony. ”

Luo Yu turned her head sideways to get rid of the hand that was still pinching her chin, and stood up with Lynch in her arms:

"I'm sending Lynch back. ”

"Go ahead. I won't send you away, if the Bichi downstairs sees it, he will beat me again. ”

Academy.

"Hey. Luo Yu looked listless, lying on the side of Lynch's bed, looking at Lynch who was breathing thinly, and sighed: "How can you sleep so much, I'm really envious." ”

If anyone who knew Luo Yu saw her like this, they would be surprised.

"Bell bell bell"

The bell hanging from her waist rang softly on its own.

This is another standard piece of equipment for the Royal Guard, in addition to the robe hood lantern.

"It's ...... In the call?" Luo Yu picked up the bell, it was still vibrating in Luo Yu's hand, Luo Yu looked at the bell in his hand, and remembered what Ying Lan said to her before.

"A lot will happen later. ”

Luo Yu stood up and hung the bell that was still ringing back on his waist.

"I'm leaving, I can't accompany you. She said to Lynch, who was still asleep, and leaned down and touched his head again.

Lynch, who was still asleep, certainly did not respond.

The girl left, and the dense sound of bells grew farther and farther until it was gone.

Imperial City, inside a certain palace.

Nine people who symbolize the pinnacle of power in the city sit around a large round table.

There are not many lights in this big palace, and there is only a small candle in the center of the round table.

Leslie, dressed in a red robe, was standing up and saying something loudly, her red hair dancing like flames.

"The return ceremony was promoted by you! After making the act of killing the emperor, you want to put the crime of opening the return on my head! I-"

"There has long been no so-called emperor, Your Highness, you are just the leader of the imperial family, that's all. ”

Chalmo on the side said lightly, interrupting Leslie, who was getting more and more excited and even about to dance.

Leslie, who was interrupted, let out a breath and actually calmed down, but instead of sitting down, he leaned over and supported the table with his hands: "...... Yes, you're right, but since we're no longer the dominant players in the city, I don't understand why you're going to start the ritual of return again, as our ancestors wanted!"

"We rely on the flames to survive and gain strength, Your Highness," Chalmo spoke again, his long beard swaying with the movement of his mouth, "Your ancestor's words are not just words, they contain a different power, a special power that existed before the black mist descended. We are already restrained when we use the flames, and if we don't comply, the consequences can be very tragic. ”

"What?" Leslie looked incredulous, "Why haven't I heard my grandfather tell me?"

A hoarse and deep voice rang out, interrupting Leslie again: "Those who didn't obey before have paid the price, and the elders and chiefs have made various attempts to get rid of the curse during this period, but they have all failed. ”

"It's not just nine people who pay the price, everyone will die badly because of disobedience, it's just that the high-level people have done a very good job of covering it up afterwards during this period of time. ”

"To spread the light of the flame throughout the world, and to obey the wishes of our ancestors and avoid the curse, we must begin the ritual of return, and we, as the most powerful of the royal family and the flame bearers, must return. ”

"The whole world...... Ancestors......" Leslie groaned weakly and slumped limply in his seat, inevitably remembering what he had seen on the fiery sun.

What's the difference between us and firewood?

The moment he sat down, a long bell came to their ears clearly through perception, and the hoarse and deep voice laughed:

"A new day begins, folks. ”

At the same time, the Institute of Demonic Instruments.

The golden hourglass completed the pouring in Ying Lan's gaze, and the moment the pouring was completed, a long bell rang in the high bell tower in the distance.

It's a new day, the 366th day since Lynch's second test.

At this moment, Lynch, who was still asleep, suddenly woke up, sat up straight, and opened his eyes.

If someone looked into his eyes, they would see a bright starry sky reflected in his eyes.

"Where is this?" Lynch muttered to himself, remembering that he had been at the Instrument Research Institute with Luo Yu and Ying Lan, but the starry sky in front of him had attracted his attention.

"This is the star I chose," Lynch looked at the star that gave him his talent and shone among the stars, "What do the other stars connected to it mean?

There were many other stars connected to this star, but Lynch couldn't get information about them, and he clearly felt that he couldn't get in touch with them right now.

Sensing that he couldn't get in touch with the other stars, Lynch withdrew the starry sky that appeared in front of him and looked around him.

Sending me back?" thought to Lynch, jumping out of bed, he felt very hungry now.

Well?

I feel like I'm jumping a little higher than usual.

But the physical fitness test was a bit troublesome, and Lynch began to use his senses as he picked up the food on the table and drank water.

Well...... This is Barney's bed, and Lynch focuses on Barney's bed while eating, and although he doesn't look over there, Lynch does sense the presence of Barney's bed.

So I'm awakened? This perception is better than radar.

Lynch was eating, looking pleasant, but this expression did not last long before Lynch choked.

"Damn! Why are there fleas on this person's bed! Fleas are magnified and disgusting!"
