Chapter 223: Jesse's Expectation
readx;
"In the morning, Alice is practicing her sword diligently, and if you want to see her, it's really a little inconvenient now. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" I said with a smile, not wanting to let Duke Jesse and Alice meet right now. If he recognizes me, I really don't know what to do.
Duke Jesse smiled and said, "Since you can't see you this time, it's better next time! His expression seemed to be very stable, but the disappointment in his eyes was fleeting, and it was not my spiritual acuity that I really couldn't find it. My heart is even brighter, and it seems that my judgment is basically certain.
I shook my head with a wry smile and said, "Originally, the elder's invitation, I really shouldn't have declined. It's just that I'm afraid that in a short time, I won't have much chance to go to the banquet! Dean Trins has probably already arranged everything for me. I thought he would send someone to call me in a little while. "I don't want to go to a dinner after fighting Tellins, it's too exciting for him.
Paran remembered his master's abnormal appearance yesterday, and suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "It's rare for a teacher to have someone who has done it, but he won't let you go easily, it seems that you really don't have much chance to leave the academy these days." ”
However, he immediately pretended to be curious again, and said with a sneer: "Little Alice is only so big, will you let her practice sword skills?"
I smiled bitterly again, where does this guy look like the vice president of the martial arts academy, such a question is obviously not supposed to be asked! You know, even if you don't talk about my internal strength and swordsmanship, the cultivation of each family's fighting spirit is also confidential. The fighting spirit of different castes and the cultivation methods also have their own mysteries and are completely different. Even if it is the tutor of the academy, he will not teach the secrets of his fighting spirit to every student, but will only choose the most qualified students among them to teach. Otherwise, as the dean of Thea Academy, the students of the entire Martial Arts Academy would not be all his disciples, how could there be only a few like now?
As the current patriarch of the Daronx family, Duke Jesse knew the relationship very well, and hurriedly pushed him away, saying, "Xiaotian, don't pay attention to him, he sometimes doesn't have a good brain. Since you've had a lot of things going on these days, I won't bother for now. However, if you have time, please be sure to bring your family to my house as a guest, just so that the old man can do his best to be a landlord. ”
I nodded earnestly and said, "We'll definitely go." ”
Hearing me say this, Duke Jesse suddenly showed a mysterious smile of relief and pulled Palanschiran out of the way. I was slightly stunned, and I couldn't see through the deep meaning in his smile. However, by this time, the secretary of Trins had already appeared in the range of my spiritual sense, and I shook my head, put the strange smile away, and began to think about what to do with Trins.
After leaving the small courtyard where I lived, Duke Jesse was obviously in good spirits, and walked so fast all the way that he even left Paland behind, which made Paran very depressed because he could not confirm Alice's appearance as he wished.
"Jesse, do you not believe me or what? His little sister really looks like Philia when she was a child, and even looks like she runs around on horseback. ”
"You've told me this a hundred times, and I'm tired of hearing it if you're not annoyed?" said Duke Jesse impatiently. "If I didn't believe what you said, I wouldn't be here. ”
"Then why don't you ask to see the little girl, maybe she's Philia's daughter! You have regretted it for ten years, do you want to continue to regret it? Don't you want to know about Philia?"
"Of course I want to know! That's why I came here early in the morning. Duke Jesse said seriously. "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not let go. ”
"Then why didn't you ask for it just now, I see that he has a special attitude towards you, maybe, as soon as you say it, he will agree. Paran said strangely.
"There are some things that you don't need to see with your own eyes, just a careful analysis, you can know the truth of the matter. Jesse said mysteriously.
"What do you mean?" Paran said in surprise, "Do you mean that you have determined that the little girl has something to do with Philia?"
"Not only the little girl, but even the mysterious Leia Academy tutor just now must have something to do with Philia. Even, Philia may be inside. That's why he didn't dare let me see my granddaughter right now. Jesse's eyes glistened with tears in his eyes, and he choked up.
"W-how is this possible? Are you guessing wrong? Paran said strangely: "There are seven of them, and there is no Filia among them? Or am I so old and dizzy that I can't even recognize Filia who I grew up watching?"
"No way, I'm sure I'm not mistaken!" Duke Jesse almost roared, "If it weren't for his relationship with Philia, how could he be so different from me with the arrogance of the dragon mentor?" Didn't you say that his pet was a bird of paradise? Didn't you say that his mount was a unicorn? Didn't you say that he was far better than you? If it weren't for being with Philia, where would a strong man like him need to be so respectful to me?"
"That's right, that's really what you say. Paran thought about it carefully and said, "But don't be so excited, if that's the case, then it must be that Phia doesn't want to see you yet, that's why Xiaotian is so embarrassed." Maybe they still don't want to see you in the future, and they'll just leave quietly in a few days! I've heard the teacher say that Xiao Tian is the dean of the Lea Academy, and the Fa God Siskaya can't keep him, and even his granddaughter has been sent to his side. Oh, by the way, there is a female Dharma Saint in their mercenary group, who is probably the granddaughter of Dean Leia. Tsk, such a young magic saint, the Lea Academy deserves to be the number one magic academy in the whole continent. Hey, in this way, the woman who has been veiled may be Philia, strange, this has changed too much, right? Although the woman doesn't make many moves, but if she really moves, I don't think even I may be her opponent, can Filia become so powerful in ten years?"
"Are you sure?" said Duke Jesse calmed down immediately, but there was already a slight tremor in his voice.
"Yes, it should be. That woman felt strange to me, and it seemed to be a little familiar. However, she seldom showed up, and had always been in the carriage, and it was inconvenient for me to have much contact with her, so Mondelcia should have been more acquainted with her. I can't see through her strength at all, but maybe it's because their family has cultivated some wonderful fighting spirit, even that little girl, I can't accurately judge her strength. The overall feeling should be very strong. Paran thought as he wondered.
"Could it be that I really misjudged?" Duke Jesse looked disappointed, if the woman's strength was really as Paran said, it would obviously not be the daughter he was expecting. After all, no one on the continent had ever been able to leap from a high-level swordsman to the level of a sword master in just ten years.
"Or for Mentor Dragon, everything is possible!, otherwise, can you imagine that at his age, he is already the top master on the continent?" Paran comforted. "Besides, your analysis just now is not wrong, that woman may really be Philia. It's just that she may be afraid that you will drive her away again, so she won't dare to see you!"
"Why am I willing to drive her away?" Duke Jesse said with a tired state, "I knew that the mercenary had bad intentions, and she didn't listen to her persuasion, so I had to threaten to drive her away, hoping that she would come to her senses." didn't know that she actually took it seriously, so she left home, and she was miserable, but she was left behind. Although I immediately sent someone to find the mercenary, I was one step too late. By the time I caught him, Philia had already understood his viciousness and quietly left the mercenary group. I've been looking for her for ten years, and when I see her, it's too late for my baby, so why am I willing to drive her away?"
Paran smiled bitterly and was speechless, how could he not know these things? Among them, there are many 'credits' to him. In order to make Filia realize the seriousness of the matter, he even pretended to have her school status removed. And everything after that, he can be said to have experienced it personally. The mercenary group was destroyed by his own hands, and among those who were looking for it were many of his students. Even the Thieves Guild, he has already disguised himself to issue missions many times. However, how could they have imagined that Philia would actually go to Karinga, thousands of miles away, and live in a small remote village for ten years?
Duke Jesse sighed faintly, looked back in the direction of the manor where I lived, and said, "I wish I could, Philia is inside." Then, even if she never forgives me, as long as I know that she lives a happy life, then I will be relieved. ”
Paran couldn't help but sigh, not because of Duke Jesse's sincere love for his daughter, nor because of the deep guilt in Duke Jesse's words, but because he didn't think that Philia would really be here. He sighed, just for Duke Jesse's expectation, after all, it was still a bamboo basket to fetch water. It's not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and in the past, when he got some specious news, Duke Jesse's reaction was the same as now.
