Chapter 31: Takuha
"You...... Hello!" Takuno obviously didn't know how to answer more decently, so he scratched his head and greeted him with some embarrassment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoSheep Village was originally rarely visited, but at this time, a beautiful woman with an extraordinary temperament suddenly appeared, and the children stood there at a loss.
"Haha, look at you unproductive appearances, don't be restrained, she is your best friend in the Academy!" Ling Yu said with a grin.
"Hehe, it's not!" said Keith.
"Sister Keith, are you also a magician at the Knight Academy?" one of the children asked.
"Yes!" replied Keith.
"Are you better or Sister Lingyu better?" asked Applejack, not wanting Lingyu to lose to anyone.
"This ......," Ji Si pursed his lips and smiled, "Of course it's your old sister, she's the most powerful student in the entire magic department!"
"Oh, don't be modest, your mastery of water magic is quite a headache!" Ling Yu picked up a chicken leg on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering as he nibbled.
Seeing that Ji Si was approachable, the children gradually accepted her, and the atmosphere began to warm up.
Everyone chatted for a while, the children's imagination can be described as wild, and Ji Si is also overwhelmed by many strange problems, very helpless.
"Okay, okay, don't ask this or that!" As the last clean chicken bone flew into the garbage can, Lingyu wiped his mouth and said to the children, "You guys, all of them have thin arms and legs like bamboo poles, it's still early to become a knight, first exercise well, practice the basic skills!"
"But, I really want to go to the Knight Academy. What Keith had just described was like a spring rain, and the seeds of adventure in Takuno's heart gradually sprouted, not only for him, but also for the other children.
Lingyu had no choice but to explain that she and Ji Si had to set off immediately to take the knight qualification test, and if they couldn't catch up, they would have to wait another year. However, she promised to take them out for a ride after obtaining the official knightly qualifications, and the children gave up.
"Sister Jisi, goodbye Sister Lingyu!"
"Both sisters have to work hard!"
At the entrance of the sheep village, Ling Yu waved his hand with his back to the children, showing full confidence in his gestures, and they also stood at the entrance of the village for a long time, reluctantly waving goodbye to the two, until the backs of the two disappeared completely before leaving one after another.
However, two boys did not return to the village, and they seemed to be talking to each other.
"Applejack, let's sneak up on the old ladies and see what the Knight Academy is like!" Takuno said excitedly.
"This ...... That's not good, I heard them say that the academy is very far from here, and even if we do, we won't be able to get in?" Applejack hesitated.
"Hey, you coward, if you think about it when you get there, you really can't say that we know Lingyu and Jisi, at least the two of them will come out to meet us, right?" Takuno glanced at him.
"Who's the coward?!...... I just don't want to influence their eligibility tests. Applejack wasn't happy to be called a coward, but he knew that Lingyu was at a critical juncture, and rushing there could affect her test.
"Excuses! You're just afraid of the monsters on the road!" Takuno said dismissively.
"I ...... How could I be afraid of Warcraft!" Applejack replied with a blushing face.
"Hey, forget it, since I don't want to, I won't force you. Takuno waved his hand impatiently, leaving Applejack alone and returning to the village.
This little gamble is just a match between the boys, and no one thought that it would change the fate of Applejack's life. The next day, the children gathered as usual to hone the martial arts they had just learned, but they couldn't find Takuno anywhere, and then the adults in the village helped to find it, only to find a piece of paper under the bedside in Takuno's hut, with only two short sentences on it: I'm going to find Sister Lingyu! When I come back, I will be a hundred times more powerful than all of you combined!
However, when spring turns to autumn, this waiting time is actually a whole year. During this time, Applejack tries to go out to find the siblings, and he finds two knight academies on his own, and even goes to the branch of the Knight Guild, but neither of them is missing. "The guild doesn't have any information about Sister Lingyu, which means that she didn't become a knight at all, so where did she go?" Ajie thought.
This question was hidden in his mind until one day a year later, two cloth bags suddenly appeared at the entrance of the sheep village, and the hunters who returned from the village in the evening found them and opened them, and immediately called all the villagers, including Applejack and other children, in fright. It turned out that the two cloth bags contained Lingyu and Takuye, who had not been heard from for a year, and the appearance of the two of them was so shocking that some villagers turned around and cried and even vomited.
Applejack, the boy who had been waiting for the two to return, had planned to go to the Knight Academy with Takuno as soon as they returned. From the day Lingyu taught him, he believed that he had an extraordinary talent for magic, and he even fantasized that he must become the strongest magician and go out on adventures with Lingyu and Takuno. Especially Lingyu, the back she left for him was too dazzling, and the encouragement she left for him was too warm, she was like a good luthier, plucking the green string in Applejack's heart, and the scene in front of him instantly shattered all his fantasies.
Both of them had their limbs broken off, and they were curled up in cloth bags in an inhuman posture, emitting a foul smell; they were breathing weakly, their eyes had been pierced and blinded, and their mouths were full of traces of dry saliva; their lips were closed as if they were muttering something; the most terrible thing was that the skin that had been smooth was now wrinkled like an old woman, and it was covered with slightly raised red spots, some of which had burst open and were constantly bleeding pus......
"No!!" Applejack roars and rushes forward to hug the two of them, desperately dragging them back to the sheep village. For the rest of the day, Applejack took care of them every day, turning them away from anyone who came to him, desperately treating them with some rudimentary magic he had learned until he was completely exhausted.
After another three months, Lingyu and Takuno finally lost their support and passed away one after another, and Applejack buried them together on the mountain behind Sheep Village, and when he sprinkled the last piece of dirt, his heart was more calm and firm than ever, because before Lingyu died, Applejack finally heard the two words that she kept repeating: Jisi.
"So, you're Applejack?" Kiss was a little surprised, but not flustered, obviously with complete certainty.
"Yes," Takuha said, "Lingyu and Takuno make up my current name, Takuha. In order to find out the cause of their deaths, I went all the way to the Leibi Academy, and I also entered it to become a knight cadet, and at that time, I found out that you had become an instructor of the academy. ā
"Do you want to say that if Lingyu is still alive, the instructor of the academy should be her?" Ji Si slowly turned the staff in his hand, "If I tell you now that Lingyu and Takuno's deaths were not done by me, do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it!" Takuha said categorically, "Even if it wasn't you, it had something to do with you." ā
"Why do you say that, Lingyu was my best friend at that time!"
"Friend?" Takuha said as he looked into Keit's eyes, "Then let me tell you, in addition to the academy Amu investigating Lineker and Sophia, I am also secretly investigating you." ā
"Huh?" Ji Si tilted his head slightly, and blue gradually rose in his eyes.
"Before I entered the Leibi Academy, I learned about the Ice Kueh Grass from other places, and judging from the death of Lingyu and Takuno at that time, they were eroded by the Venom of the Ice Kueh Grass before it was improved. After becoming a Knight cadet, I found out that the academy was actually investigating the incident of Ice Cake Grass, and already had several targets, including Lineker and Sophia, but without you. But I have always believed that there must be a reason why Ling Yu has been saying your name before he died, so I took the initiative to tell the academy about this, and they also believed in my ability very much, so they asked me to secretly investigate you. Now I have a lot of evidence that proves that you participated in the Ice Knight experiment, so do you think that if you set up this place as Lineker absconded and was killed by you, the Academy will determine that he is the mastermind behind the crime and stop the pursuit of the Ice Knight Grass incident?
"Whether you believe it or not, in short, I didn't kill Lingyu and Takuno. Ji Si's Yuan Power slowly flowed, "The academy really can't be underestimated, it seems that it really can't stay any longer." But do you know what we're bringing you here for?"
"You'll know when I knock you down. Tuo Yu instantly burst out with a Yuan Force aura comparable to Ji Si, "I've waited too long for this day to come!"
