34. Knight in armor
"Deberwell?" Lycia knew that the person who sat in her father's former position was the head of the Deberwell family.
Krille's eyes widened. "Well, yes, you should know each other. ”
Lycia nodded.
"There are too many illegitimate children of the aristocracy, and there are only a few like him who mix so badly. Krille didn't question why Lycia was suddenly interested in Puddingkit the Clown, she just told Lycia a lot of things like pouring beans.
Including the D'Urberville family, how did they go from a small aristocracy in a seaside city to the center of the nobility circle today, and finally won the support of the church.
Lycia didn't even find it strange, and after remembering some important things, she said goodbye to Miss Clare and went back.
There was still some distance from the cabin to the dormitory, and the glowing circle on the road was not too bright, and Lycia felt that it was especially dark today.
'What's going on?' she looked around alarmingly, there were no patrolling soldiers on the road, and there was no sound.
Only the sound of her boots on the stone slabs, clicks.
"The Eye of the Dead Sea is about to open. ”
As if in a whisper, Lycia heard a number of different voices whispering in her ear.
"Who!" Facing the unknown, Lycia threw out the silver thorn in her left hand and held a short blade in her right hand to her chest.
On a large black horse, a suit of armor sits. "I come from the Eye of the Dead Sea. "It's still a lot of different voices.
Lycia found herself covered in mist, and through her armor's helmet, it was empty.
If you look closely, the black horses are already rotting torsos.
"You, you're the Black Knight?" Lycia's curiosity prevailed. "You're not dead?"
The black horse raised its front hooves, then fell, its armored body reaching out and almost clinging to Lycia's head.
"Didn't you summon me?" the overlapping voices Lycia had a hard time recognizing.
Lycia could even smell a damp and fishy smell, like sea water merging with blood.
"I have given you power. ”
A biting chill burst from the rusty armor, burrowing into Lycia's eyebrows, down her cheeks, and down her neck.
"Shhh Lycia couldn't help but cover the heraldic pattern around her neck with her hand.
"What ability?" Lycia felt like her face was stiffened by a whole frozen neck.
"The ability to summon me. ”
Summoning, summoning a suit of armor, and the corpse of a horse?
Still, she said words of praise. "Thank you for your help, but how to summon. ”
The armor's arm lifted up and pointed at Lycia's neck.
The horse, which was already a decomposing corpse, suddenly snorted.
The mist cleared, and the light returned to the glowing circle beside the road.
Lycia touched the makeshift heraldic pattern around her neck, the frost spreading along her fingertips, did she need to recite another set of vows?
"Knight of the Eye of the Dead Sea, I summon you!"
A gust of ice wind ripped Lycia's hair away, and the dark horse and armor reappeared.
"Don't just summon me!!"
Lycia was stunned, then nodded. "Hug, I'm sorry, sir. ”
The armor seemed to show a look of disdain, and then with a flick of the horsewhip, it disappeared again.
Lycia tidied up her clothes and continued walking towards the dormitory.
When did she summon this set of armor, did it have anything to do with her own use of the six-pointed star?
Is the legend of the Knight Knight and the Thorns true?
Lycia shook her head.
This ability to summon strange powers, she didn't dare to show either.
"Miss Lycia. Butler Ning Tong's eyes looked at Lycia's hands clasped in her chest and shrunk in her cloak. "It's too cold, please come back to the dorm early next time. ”
Lycia stepped into the dormitory building and nodded at him. "Thank you for the reminder. ”
Then he took out his hand, rubbed it twice, and pressed it against his frozen face and neck.
She hoped that the butler would not see anything unusual about herself.

"Oh, look who it is, the heir of the noble Campbells, Miss Lycia. Exaggerated laughter rang out in the cafeteria.
Lycia suspected for a moment that she had strayed into the Cinderella script, and the aristocratic lady in front of her was somewhat familiar, but it didn't seem to be from the Thorns Academy.
Karina's exaggerated laughter was applauded by Buchton.
Other nobles did not dare to speak out, and no matter how much the Campbell family declined, it was still a duke, and since the founding of the country, it has stood on the royal side.
"How can there be such a stupid person. Lycia felt that contempt was the best thing to do with her, so she glanced Karina up and down, and sat down near the outlet as usual.
"Hello, I need a lamb chop, um, and a vegetable bisque. She sighed, but fortunately, the Campbell family had strong assets and could maintain a high standard of living without relying on her father's salary.
Otherwise, like Silky Nut's family, she probably wouldn't be able to afford the expensive meals on the second floor.
Seeing that Lycia was not ashamed or annoyed at all, Karina was a little unable to get off the stage.
She happened to see Lin Xi walk in, like a rescued soldier, she ran over and grabbed Lin Xi's hand.
Caroline, who didn't want to cause trouble, picked up her plate, picked up her axe, placed it opposite Lycia, and sat down.
"When the weather gets warmer, in mid-March, there will be a study tour to clean up the beasts in the lower reaches of the Bei River. Caroline's hair was tied so tightly that both eyebrows were raised high.
"Can I go?" Lycia poured a cup of tea for the academy's best axie senior.
Caroline said out loud on purpose. "Of course, I would recommend you to Your Highness. ”
Then she deliberately turned around and glanced at Karina, who was talking to Lin Xi.
But Lycia herself didn't care about such a thing. "Thank you, Caroline. ”
Thank you for helping her out and thank you for her willingness to recommend herself.
"Is your heraldic power a shield?" Lycia remembers seeing the diamond-shaped heraldic on her forehead.
Caroline nodded, then touched her brass axe. "Yes. ”
"I remember that your heraldic power is similar to mine, and you can also activate shields. Caroline said with interest.
Lycia nodded. "But the instability that comes up, it sometimes doesn't happen. ”
She now had a rough guess in her mind, so she waited for the evening to go to Miss Krille to verify if the invisible shield only worked on creatures with positive favorability.
"Try more, after all, two people with the same coat of arms will have very different abilities. ”
The cook brought Lycia's food, laid out her napkin herself, and picked up the spoon.
"Well, I'll figure it out by mid-March. ”
