59. Thinking and melancholy
"If you start to understand the book, then this is the first one. She glanced at the emerald, and then at the book, and after Dimitrius had left, she had not taken the emerald with her, but had placed it in Lycia's hand, and Lycia had suddenly thought of pulling out the book that the Knight Knight had given her, and then she found that although the words in the book were still those words, she could suddenly understand part of it.
"In the center of the Ring of Parakar lies a blue secret. ”
Ring of Paraka: The Ring of Paraka over the Great Circle of Barbatezzi.
"The walls of Canteosu will show the way in the midday sun. ”
Lycia had never heard of Canteosu.
She couldn't even understand the last few sentences.
So she turned to the second page.
The first word at the beginning of the second page reads: "Strength." ”
The more she turned to the back, the more Lycia couldn't read it.
"So the emeralds are a source of power?" Lycia guessed, but she was almost certain that the emeralds must have something to do with the Knight Knight, and to the book.
Lycia wondered what power she had gained from the emerald, could it be the power to read strange words?
She looked at the second page and read softly. "Strength. ”
She realized that the language she was spitting out was not any of the languages she knew, and then something strange happened, and a lot of mist gathered around the emerald ring, and they clung to Lycia's skin, and every inch of skin melted into a film of mist.
It doesn't seem to have changed, but it may be a miracle when you really get into trouble. After a moment of divergent thoughts, Lycia stood up and combed her hair, and the Thorn Academy's clean-up of alien beasts had finally begun, and they were heading to the mountains northwest of Sufaro.
She hid the book that Karagea Knight had given her, put it in the inner pocket of her skirt, and put on a short red cloak with white trim, a warm hat, and a pair of thick hiking boots on her feet.
These are purchased in Sufaro, and although they are not very trendy, the fabrics are very strong and the styles are classic and generous.
Lycia slung her backpack and checked the room one last time, then walked out.
"Lycia, are you alright, I saw His Highness coming out of your room yesterday!" Anna was a very gossipy girl, and she was still a familiar girl, except for the fact that Lycia and she had spoken a word because they stood relatively close to each other on the day of the opening day, Anna acted as if she was very familiar with Lycia.
If her opinion isn't just two percent, maybe Lycia would be willing to talk to her.
And now Lycia just glanced at her and walked over to Fudomi.
Anna smiled awkwardly, and the hand that had been going to be on Lycia's shoulder fell in disappointment.
'What's wrong with me, maybe she's just trying to get close to me, it's just gossip, I could have treated her kinder because I saw that she didn't like me that much?' Lycia accidentally caught a glimpse of Anna walking aside in frustration, she knew herself well, but because she only had the title of viscount in the house, and she often offended people because of gossip, she had no female friends.
This was the first time Lycia had thought about it.
She thinks that there are indeed a few times when she sees people who are not good enough and have little use value, and she will be very perfunctory.
"Get in the car, Lycia. What are you thinking?" Caroline patted her on the back.
Lycia glanced at Anna again, she hesitated for a moment to get into the carriage, no one invited her, and finally she got into a carriage with a vacant seat with a flattering and familiar smile.
"We're going to camp here, and the swamp is here. Dimitori noticed that Lycia was a little inattentive, so he deliberately raised his voice. "Lycia, you don't have to set up camp, go to the swamp area first, and let Buchton and Fudomi follow you. ”
Lycia didn't have time to think about it any longer, and she tried to concentrate and looked at the two dots on the vellum map.
"Got it. ”
Dimitri nodded, the carriage was too small, and although there were barely seven people seated, Lycia felt as if she was about to be squeezed out of her seat by Dimitri on the right and Caroline on the left.
"It's too crowded. Lycia couldn't help but say.
With an innocent face, Troy patted the empty space next to him with his palm. "Your Highness, you can sit down a little more. ”
Although the road to the camping site was rough, the carriage was blessed by a magic circle, so it was not bumpy at all.
When the environment suddenly quiets down, there will be a hint of embarrassment.
*
At the foot of the Lille mountains, a group of young people seemed to have forgotten what a tricky thing had happened to them the other day.
Instead, it was like a spring outing, happily preparing to camp on the ground where the fluffy green grass had grown.
Lycia and Fudomi walked ahead, Buchton with his sword in his hand, grass in his mouth, shoveling grass with his hard-soled boots as he went.
Perhaps the walk down the hill was a relief for the body and mind, and Fudomi took Lycia's hand.
"Lycia, you're in luck. Fu Duo Mi said with a smile.
Lycia habitually glanced at the favorability, sixty-five percent, and she thought that Fudomi really felt that way.
"Are you saying I can inherit the title?" Lycia replied to her, in a more positive tone.
Fudomi nodded. "Sort of, after all, my parents only tell me every day, Fudomi, you are beautiful. ”
"You are indeed beautiful. Lycia quickly answered, for this kind of heart-to-heart speech, Lycia never dared to be perfunctory.
"How can we be as beautiful as Lycia. Fudomi looked at Lycia with gentle eyes, and then continued. "So since I was a child, my parents told me, Fudomi, you should please my aunt with your beautiful smile, and you should go and shake hands with that gentleman. ”
Lycia nodded, motioning for her to continue.
"Of course, the social skills they teach are very useful, and I really learned them very well. She glanced at Buchton, who suddenly didn't make a shoveling sound. "Why, do you think that's the case too? Buchton. ”
Buchton, holding his sword, crooked his mouth and snorted. "Yes, for example, you are pouring out your heart right now, just in time to be able to please the heir to the Duke's title. ”
Lycia frowned, she couldn't stand Buchton's nasty mouth. "Shut up, Buchton. ”
Fudomi laughed. "You're right, Buchton, I can't tell if I'm trying to please someone or if I really need to talk to someone. ”
Lycia took Fudomi's hand. "Why do you say flattering, you just like me, you want me to like you, you don't need to give yourself these shackles, it's normal, you want a smile, you want a hug, as long as they do bring pleasure to people. Do you have to say something harsh like Buchton did, is it true temperament?"
Lycia told her and told herself.
