"Great, great, life and death!"

"Lament, lament, gather and scatter!"

"Pain, pain, the cry of longing!"

"Wail, wail, my comrade-in-arms!"

Witch King Billy's poems always have a sad flavor, which is why he is called the King of Mourning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thirteen days after the battle, the funeral took place in the town of Jumu, and the singers of the Moon Shadow sang the poem, and a faint sadness filled the air.

In the song, a skin bag and their soul slowly melt into the sea of flowers, and they will stay here forever, with the flowers.

This is a flower burial unique to the Lunaris Clan.

Mislanda attended the funeral with Lucien, York, and the Brothers Grimm, and after the funeral ceremony, the five of them went out of the sea of flowers and came to an intersection in front of the sea of flowers.

Mislanda turned to Lucien and said, "I'm going to do something later, you guys go back to the garrison first." By the way, Lucian, the merits you applied for have been issued, and you will go and collect them later. ”

"I see. Lucien said.

"In addition to Lucien's reward, there is another piece of news. Your classmate Fanny was found dead in a crypt in the Abandoned City, bitten to death by a wolf, and searchers found his badge on the ground. According to the federal wartime military law, hearing the rallying cry and not obeying the order to assemble are punished as follows: among those related to the family bloodline and followers, the official wizard is severely fined 1,000 magic stones, the apprentice of the wizard is punished with blood, the family knight is punished to a slave camp, all adult mortals are slaughtered, children are sent to the orphanage, and the soul of the family who dies but does not dissipate - the soul is destroyed. I've reported to the federal headquarters here, awaiting execution, and I hope you won't be the next Vanney. ”

"We must keep it in mind. Northland's punishment for deserters made everyone feel a chill in their hearts and answered in unison.

Seeing the expressions that some people still didn't understand, Mithranda explained in a rare way: "It is difficult to survive in the Northland, and strict military law is necessary. You don't understand it now, but you will understand it when you go outside the wall. ”

The crowd nodded again in understanding.

Mislanda nodded in satisfaction and said, "Hasn't Lilian come back yet?"

Jacob, who had been staying in Jumu Town, said, "I didn't see her come back, do you want to ......?"

"Don't wait, there is no shelter in this vicinity except for Giant Wood Town, she should have died in the dark forest. Little York, is there any Lillian's body among the remains of the adventurers who have been transported out of the Dark Forest these days?"

Little York shook his head and said, "I've been staying at the entrance and exit of the town for the past few days, and I haven't found Lillian's body. Maybe Lillian isn't dead?"

"It is impossible not to die, the monsters of the entire forest have rioted, and if she stays in the forest, she will definitely die. So, little York, when you get back, tell the wizards at the camp that if Lillian's body is found, let them write to us to inform us. ”

Little York nodded in understanding.

Standing on the sidelines, Lucien listened to Mislanda's speech as he pondered such a question.

Since Lillian was in the dark forest that night, why didn't she die?

According to the contract signed, until Lillian's curse is lifted, the relationship between the two of them is to live and die together.

Since Lucien is still standing here safely, it means that Lillian is also alive and well.

Unless, the occurrence of the magic tide that night has something to do with Lillian!

The thought that suddenly came to Lucien made Lucien shiver.

If Lillian controlled the Demon Tide, it would be impossible to do so according to her strength. Unless, she's not who she is anymore!!

Could it be that Lillian has been taken away by demons or parasitized?

Lucien suddenly remembered the oil painting of a wizard slaying demons that he saw in Mithranda's bedroom that night, and combined with the previous Lillian's strength as a wizard's apprentice, she had built such a powerful dream, all these clues made Lucien a little more confident in his guess.

It's just, that demon, why did you want to deal with me?

Is it because of my flesh?

Lucien remembered that Mithranda had said in class that demons possess powerful parasitic and seizure abilities, but not all physical bodies are suitable for demons, just like organ transplantation, the body receives foreign souls, and it is easy to have a strong rejection.

This may explain why the other party is interested in Lucian.

Because Lucien was a time-traveler, he took this body when the original host was one year old and was dying, and from this point of view, this body has the constitution that is perfectly in harmony with all foreign souls.

Thinking of this, Lucien couldn't help but smile bitterly.

........

After the five of them separated, Lucien came to the Federation's garrison in Jumu Town alone, which was very small, and it was only a wooden house with two entrances and two entrances. Inside the room, an old second-class wizard apprentice sits with a quill in his hand writing something on parchment.

This was the first time Lucien had seen such an old second-class wizard apprentice, and he had always thought that the promotion of a second-class wizard apprentice to a third-class wizard apprentice should be a matter of course, and at most it would just take more time.

Now, it doesn't seem to be.

"Come in. The other party didn't look up, and continued to write something with a quill pen, but only when he heard someone knocking on the door, he lowered his head and said.

Lucien entered the room, which was simply decorated, with a white table, a cowhide chair, a few high stools, and a bookshelf full of miscellaneous items.

If it weren't for the nameplate outside the door, I wouldn't have thought that this was the federal station.

"Sit, what's the matter?" said the other party at this time when he finished writing the ink in the quill pen, inserted the pen into the pen holder, and looked up.

"I'm here to receive the Confederacy's military exploits. ”

"Battle exploits, so you are Lucian, what a young man!"

There was something sour in the other party's words.

"When I was young, I was also so vigorous, but fate did not favor me, I was not talented enough, I was stuck in a second-class wizard apprentice, and I was a public student for nearly twenty years, and then I had no choice, so I had to find some connections to get an errand in the Federation, which was decades. After the other party sighed, there was another wry smile.

Lucien didn't speak, so as not to touch the other party's sadness, but just smiled.

The other party took a silver basin from the shelf behind him, then poured half a basin of water into it, and said to Lucian: "Throw your badge down." ”

Lucien took out his badge and threw it in, and with a "bang", the badge slowly sank into the pelvic floor.

"Three or five drops of blood. ”

Lucien heard this, and cut his finger and dripped blood.

The moment the blood dripped into the water, it melted away, and the clear water turned into blood water.

The other party put a roll of parchment into it, first reciting words in High Elf language, and then said in Modo: "Lucian, second-class wizard apprentice, Black Iron first-order combat exploits, confirmed." ”

With the other party's spell, the blood water in the basin began to rotate, turning faster and faster, and slowly turned into a large whirlpool, and the bottom of the maelstrom revealed Lucian's badge.

It's just that the badge that used to be white is now as black as steel, with two azure bars in the center and a small white star on the edge of the badge.

Azure is the logo of the Manit Wizarding Academy, two thin bars represent Lucien as a second-class wizard apprentice, black represents the badge of Black Iron Exploits, and a star on the edge of the badge represents first-order exploits.

"The Black Iron Badge means that you have the following rights: first, you have the right to ride the Federal Airship at a 20% discount, second, you have the right to enter the Federal Store to purchase some restricted knowledge, some witchcraft materials and finished products, third, you can favor one of your family members by donating money to make them have the status of a federal citizen, and fourth, you have the right to transfer to other wizarding academies before becoming a third-class wizard after paying a certain price. This is your main right, as for the other rights, see the table of contents for details. ”
