After returning to Nas Academy, Valen originally wanted to go directly to the dormitory to ask Charles, but on the way he met Helena and discussed the matter with Helena, Helena hurriedly stopped: "You can't ask Charles directly, won't it be revealed that you and Yukina have met after you ask Charles, how can Charles sue if he doesn't tell Yukina.. lā”

Valen spread his hands when he heard this: "What should I do then?"

Helena thought for a moment and said, "You can ask tactfully, for example, what have you been doing these days, just when you haven't heard the news from Yukina, just ask in a normal tone of concern?"

Valen nodded vigorously, thanks to talking to Helena, if there was no consultation, according to Charles's insight, I am afraid that he would know his purpose in an instant.

But there was one more thing, Valen looked at Helena and said suspiciously, "You didn't care at all when you heard that I met Yukina alone?"

Helena looked at Valen's appearance and giggled, "Will Yukina like you? ”

Valen's face turned red and he pounced angrily.

After a while, Valen returned to the dormitory, saw Charles meditating, pretended to be unintentional and asked, "Charles, I heard that you have rarely been seen in class recently, what are you doing?"

Charles knew that he couldn't hide this matter for too long, and said, "I'm learning internal strength and physical skills with General Pullet. ”

"Why?" asked Valen, who didn't expect Charles to be so cheerful.

"I'm going to the snowfield. Charles said calmly, and it was such a bland sentence that scared Charles to cry out: "What do you say you are going to do?!Why do you want to go there!"

"The alchemist's recipe is recorded in the book, and the effect is that it can greatly improve the spiritual power below the sixth-level magician, although most of it is concealed, but there are only three materials, which must be carried by the requester himself, and the alchemist does not provide them, and those three materials are in the snowfield. Charles told the story of what he was going to do.

"Then I'll go with you!" Valen said without hesitation.

Charles knew that Valen would say this, and said with a smile: "Do you know why I want to learn internal strength? If there is no internal strength, it is difficult to move an inch in the snowfield, which is also the reason why many magicians cannot use this method, and there may even be the possibility of sleeping in the snowfield, Valen, do you think you may go?"

"Then I'm going to learn internal strength now, I'm going to go together!" said Valen, who was unconscious when he saw Charles again when he didn't go with him last time, and this time Valen didn't want to experience that fear again.

Charles stood up helplessly, and the figure stood at the door for a while, and then returned to the same place, Valen did not feel any fluctuations in mental power, so he said······

"Valen, do you have such power? If you don't have such ** power, even if you learn internal strength, it's meaningless, as for the source of this power, it may be related to those strange creatures that I drank up. Charles told Valen about this matter despite An Shounon's reminder, not that Charles did not listen to An Shounon's warning, but that Charles believed from the bottom of his heart that Valen would never say it!

Valen bit his lip and asked with an unwilling look in his eyes, "Aren't there any superfluous strange creatures under the ruins?"

Charles knew what Valen was going to do when he heard this, and said with a smile: "No, An Shounon has investigated all the buried creatures, except for four or five known monsters, the others are just different beasts, as for this creature, even the shell has been sent to the Demon Court, and now it may have turned into powder." ”

Charles looked at Valen's unwilling face and knew that Valen cared about him, and comforted him softly: "Valen, there is really nothing you have to believe me this time, just take three materials, and come back after taking them, when the time comes, how about we go to the game together?"

"But, but there are monsters there! There are monsters! Those are terrible creatures that have escaped from the prey of humans!! There are many dangers that have not been recorded by humans?!!, is it not dangerous?

Valen left the dormitory in a rage, Charles looked at Valen's running back, there was warmth in his eyes, but his face was only full of helplessness, just because he knew that Valen would never go to Charles, but looking at Valen's gloomy expression, he was also slightly uncomfortable.

"Valen, I don't want to go, but I have to, and I don't mind putting my life at risk to protect anyone I care about. ”

Valen told Yukina what had happened, and asked eagerly, "Will you go?" Wallen was helpless, so he could only look at Yukina with begging eyes, and for a moment he really wanted to change with Yukina to become a warrior, so that he could help Charles.

When Yukina heard that she was going to the snow field, there was a glint of excitement in her eyes, the kind of place known as the forbidden land for human beings, Charles actually had the courage to go, and he admired it in his heart, and he was dissatisfied, why didn't he call himself to go, or he was not a brother!

Yukina looked at Valen firmly and seriously with Charles in her heart and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely go with Charles, you remember to help me keep an eye on Charles, notify me as soon as there is news, and I will also send someone to keep an eye on Charles outside the academy!"

Valen nodded gratefully, and the restless heart was finally more comfortable.

Time flies, four months is not long or short, Charles's internal strength and physical skills have made great progress, with the support of extremely strong ** strength, Charles only took less than half a year to successfully reach the level of Yukina a year ago, although he can't become a master, but he is also much more powerful than ordinary martial artists.

During this time, Yukina never saw Charles again, even if Charles saw Yukina by chance, Yukina was arrogantly glaring at Charles, and then turned his head away with a pout, Charles touched his nose and smiled, although he was a little disappointed that Yukina hated Charles, but he was very happy to be able to keep Yukina from experiencing danger.

Before leaving, he came to Clive and told Clive about it, and Valen on the side listened to it and left silently, Charles only thought that Valen was unwilling to leave, and Clive was shocked: "Practice is a gradual thing, why pursue this kind of thing, do you know that it may take your own life!"

Instead of listening to Clive's admonition, Charles asked, "Principal Clive, can you give me a year-long vacation?"

Clive looked at Charles's calm face for a long time, and finally asked, "Is there any reason why you have to go?"

Charles didn't speak, but Clive remembered that Charles had escorted the mission for the first time before, for Giles, and the second time he went to Walton for Misha, and this time he ······

Clive let out a long sigh and sat down in his seat dejectedly: "Okay, okay, you go, you kid, it's really hard to worry." ”

Charles looked happy and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Principal Clive." ”

Clive gave Charles a blank look: "Thank you, thank you, if I don't give you leave, you won't go? ”

Charles smiled awkwardly and walked out of the door, Clive looked at the door, thinking about Charles's appearance, and muttered funny: "What a special child, how much have I changed for this child?"

Suddenly, Charles, who was originally leaving, opened the door and said, "Principal Clive, please tell Teacher Misha that I am far away, as for what excuse, please ask Principal Clive you, goodbye." ”

"You-"

Clive watched the expression on his face become more exciting at the door, and finally turned into a wry smile, and said in a low and doting voice: "This kid." ”

Charles came to An Shounong's house, watched An Shounong prepare an extra-large package, and a carriage was parked at the door of the house, and asked suspiciously: "An Shounong, do you want to go far away?"

"I'm going to go far away, I think you're going to go far away, go to the snow field alone, I'm afraid you're the first magician in history to go to the snow field, it's really fatal." An Shounon told Charles the role of the large and small things in the package, and then said: "Although I can't carry this package, it should be easy for you, I have already given the money to the groom outside the door, not to mention a year, I have paid him the rent for three years, don't give him money, and the alchemist, in the Tracy village outside the snowfield, my friend will arrive there in three months, wait there for a year, who is it, you can find him by taking my token to the village and asking, and." ······”

Charles listened to An Shounong's verbosity and only felt that his eyes were red and sour, as if there was some liquid about to flow out, although An Shounong didn't say anything, but he had prepared everything for himself, just waiting for his own departure.

"Teacher. Charles knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to An Shounong, An Shounong's concern for himself is not something that can be repaid with just a bow, but if Charles doesn't do it, Charles will definitely feel uneasy in his heart.

An Shounong looked at Charles who was kneeling on the ground, and the countless words in his mouth finally converged into one sentence, a withered hand was placed on Charles's head, and he rubbed it weakly: "Silly boy." ”

It's obviously just an old man's weak hand, but Charles feels its unbearable heaviness, which is not the weight of the hand, but the unchangeable emotion in it!

Charles listened to this familiar words, the familiar tone, and struggled to suppress the excitement in his heart, there are so many people around him who care about him, he will not die, and he will not let them be hurt a little! )
