Volume 1 Tarot Apostles Chap.17 Painted Paladin
A few days later, on the morning of the festival, the teacher was teaching on the podium, but the students sitting below looked a little restless, they had already focused on the afternoon activities, and Lesna held her chin with one hand and looked at the students who were busy preparing for the event outside.
Then she glanced back at the empty seats in the classroom.
Lucas took a few students from the art club to help, and it was nice not to be in the classroom in the morning, and Lesna was lying on the table like a piece of melted fudge, envious in her heart.
When the bell rang, some of the students let out almost screaming cheers and rushed out of the classroom in groups, Lesna just straightened up, and Lulu and Yongzi gathered around her at the same time.
"Lesna, I'm going to go to the art exhibition with Maine, so I won't accompany you!" Lulu folded her hands on her hips and playfully stuck her tongue out at them, blinking her eyes quickly.
"I also have a job to do, and my agent asked me to take more photos for her so that I can find inspiration for my next album." Eiko walked over and patted Lesna on the right shoulder.
"Oh, got it, then you guys go get busy, see you later." After getting Lesna's response, the two walked out of the classroom together.
Okay, so let's go to Wallace... As soon as Lesna got up from her seat, she saw Wallace appear at the door of the class with a smile and her hands behind her back, which made Lesna instantly refreshed.
"Wallace! I'm about to go to you! She hurried to Wallace.
"Then I'm one step ahead, I brought bread and milk from the cafeteria." Wallace shook his body slightly from side to side, and as if he were juggling, he pulled out a double ham cheese bread and two cans of banana milk from behind his back.
Lesna's eyes widened: these were her favorite flavors!
"Thank you, my favorite is these two flavors!" Lesna was overjoyed and stretched out her hands to take a portion of bread and milk.
"Haha, that's what Lulu told me, it's a return gift for you inviting me to see the exhibition, let's go to the event together after eating." Seeing that there was no one in the class, Wallace walked into the empty seat in the front row of the classroom, spread a layer of paper towels on the table, and then tore open the package and gulped down the bread.
"Okay." Hearing this, Lesna also sat in her place, grabbed the bread with both hands and nibbled on it, quietly raising her eyes from time to time to peek at Wallace a few times.
Seeing his unsightly appearance, Lesna felt for the first time that Wallace was so close to her, and a warm and happy heat slowly overflowed from the ravines of her heart.
After lunch, Lesna and Wallace walked downstairs side by side and strolled along the school's main road, lined with cherry blossom trees lined with colorful paintings, as well as intricate handmade sculptures and paper cutouts.
Facing the spring breeze mixed with cherry blossoms, the warm afternoon sun brought a little sleepiness, and the hourglass of time seemed to be deliberately slowing down the passing speed at this moment, trying to let Lesna quietly look at Wallace around her again with the corner of her eye.
Like a child curious about an unfamiliar environment, he looked left and right with a pleasant smile on his face, as if this art exhibition was a new and short journey for him.
Seeing his expression, Lesna put her hands in her pockets and asked him curiously, "Haven't you participated in this kind of activity?" β
"I used to go back to the classroom at most just here and look at it, but I haven't been involved in person like I am today." Wallace turned his head in reply.
Then he seemed to see something that made him excited, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh from his mouth: "Wow! She ran straight in front of Lesna, who raised an eyebrow and followed him closely.
When she reached the display wall in the small square, Lesna looked up and was struck by a huge painting in front of her, much taller than a person.
It was a blonde knight in silver armor and holding a silver sword, his handsome face was full of divine coldness and solemnity, his eyes were lowered, his pale blue eyes seemed to reflect the color of the sky, and the brown and bronze background gave people the atmosphere of a classical painting, and the background was dotted with blooming white lilies and white feathers, which set off the majesty and nobility of this knight.
"That's amazing...... Lesna whispered in amazement, and she couldn't help but walk to the painting, the retro oil painting felt so good that she could even smell the faint smell of paint.
Wallace turned his head, pointed to the painting with his index finger and asked her, "Do you know who he is?" β
"I know," Lesna looked at him and nodded, then turned her head to the painting, "Hundreds of years ago, the head of the Knights of Fivent, Paladin Percival Bossus, the book says that he led the Knights to deal with many monsters, and finally died in the battle against the Divine Serpent Maiden in the Mosmer Mountains and was named a Paladin. β
Walleston cast a look of surprise and delight at her, and his voice seemed a little excited: "So you know him, he is the historical figure I admire the most." β
"Huh? You like this type of historical figure. Lesina sighed with her head in her hands, and turned her head to look at the huge painting again, she felt that Wallace's temperament was somewhat similar to that of Percival, but it was fundamentally different.
A friendly and hearty voice sounded behind the two: "Ah, to be able to get praise from those who appreciate this painting, it seems that my efforts have not been in vain." The two of them turned their heads at the same time and saw that it was Andoros.
"Andoros, did you draw this?" Wallace turned to face him.
Andoros nodded, and he crossed his arms and replied with a refreshing smile: "Well, I painted it, but the other members of the art club also helped, and I haven't had a good night's sleep for several days for this painting." β
"It's a good drawing, but why did you think of drawing Percival?" Lesna crossed her hip with one hand and tilted her head to ask him.
"Well," Andoros tapped at his temples with his fingers, and raised his face to look at the painting, his expression invisibly replaced with earnestness, as if he was remembering something: "Because Percival is the ancestor of our Dushant family." β
"What!?" Wallace made a surprised sound, he frowned, stepped forward and approached Andoros and asked, "But aren't you and Lulu's ancestor Arya!?" That Miss Arya Dushantβ"
"Arya and Percival are husband and wife, and the book tells historical facts that have happened, but there is only one thing that is wrong." Andoros set his eyes on the two of them, and Masashi told them, "Parcival is not dead, but sleeping on Mount Mosmer. β
The news was like thunder falling from the sky, causing both of them to widen their eyes and be speechless.
Wallace opened two thin lips, and he stuck his trembling hands on Andolos's shoulders, shaking them vigorously while asking him excitedly, "This is... Are you sure...? Is this true?! β
"It hurts... It hurts! You let go and listen to me! Hearing Andoros' cry of pain, Wallace hurriedly let go of his hands in panic and looked at him with an apologetic expression.
Andoros moved his aching shoulders and said to them, "He is encased in a crystal full of magical power, which grows everywhere on the top of Mosmeer Mountain, which is invisible to ordinary people, only those who have magical powers, but unfortunately, Lulu and I have never found a way to break the crystal." β
Hearing this, Lesna frowned, bit her thumb nail and asked him, "Does Commander Beson know about this?" β
Andoros immediately shook his head: "No, this is a family matter of our family, so I didn't report this matter to him. β
Just as Lesna was about to ask something more, a girl with long chestnut hair trotted over angrily, grabbed Andoros by the back collar, and yelled in his ear: "How dare you laze here!" We're all running out of business! β
"Be quiet... Whisper, Pear Blossom! I'm going to be deaf! As the president, you should pay attention to your image! Andoros was almost pulled to the ground by Pear Blossom, like a child who had done something wrong, and covered his ears with his hands in a crying voice.
Rika saw Lesna and Wallace, bowed slightly to them, and said, "I'm sorry, we still have something to do, so we'll miss out first." β
Seeing Rika grab Andoros and drag him away, Lesna couldn't hold back a burst of laughter from her throat, and Wallace turned to stare at her with ecstatic eyes.
"Lesna, I've decided, I'm going to get some exercise, and then I'm going to see Parcival on Mount Mosmer, even if it's just for a look!" Immersed in the ecstasy that his favorite historical figure was still alive, Wallace put his hands on Lesna's shoulders with a cheerful expression.
"Then you can refuel, it's two to three hours by plane from our city of Cross to Mount Mosmeer." Lesna smiled and patted him on the shoulder with the back of her hand.
His heartfelt smile and determination were the same as before, and Wallace looked alive and shining in the sunlight, which made Lesna's eyes wide and silently watch.
Maybe this Wallace is the real him, but because of the magic power, he will suppress his heart and behave so indifferently, Lesna looked at his smiling face and secretly speculated in her heart.
Then the two went to the merchandise sales area together, and after Lesna handed the ticket given to her by Zhao Rongya to the conductor, they walked in side by side.
There are a variety of printed books and printed materials, as well as novels written by the students themselves, and it is very crowded with people.
Wallace was wandering in front of the second-hand bookstall while Lesna was wandering around and saw a stall selling Wallace's postcards, she immediately stopped in front of the stall and picked up a postcard.
Seeing the pattern on the postcard, Lesna raised her eyebrows and asked the female students who were watching the stall, "Isn't this a bit exaggerated?" Can this be printed and sold as a campus merchandise? Wallace is going to be angry, right? β
"That's... Well, because Senior Wallace is the prince of the school, so, so we tried... I'm sorry... I didn't expect you to be really Senior Wallace's lover... We're not going to do that again..."The girl with the gray sister's head wore glasses, looked very introverted and shy, and she didn't dare to look up at Lesna.
What is this, the corners of Lesna's mouth began to twitch slightly, and she didn't even bother to open her mouth to explain this rumor again.
Wallace, who had finished browsing the bookstall and came to Lesna's side, looked down at the postcards, sneered, picked up two of his own postcards with both hands, looked at them, looked at the girl and asked, "You painted me very well, did you draw it?" β
"It's... Yes, Senior Wallace, I drew these postcards! As soon as the girl heard that it was Wallace's voice, she immediately stood up nervously, and her cheeks flushed.
"It's a nice drawing." Wallace smiled and put down the postcard, put one hand on Lesna's right shoulder, pointed the other hand at Lesna, and whispered to the girl in a joking tone, "Next time you try to draw her, how about adding her to it?" β
Lesna suddenly threw a helpless look at him and asked him, "I said you, are you a little too excited today?" β
This made Wallace slightly stunned, and he immediately raised his hands to make a gesture of surrender, and whispered to Lesna, "Hey... Have it? β
"Forget it, you're fine with that." Lesna patted him on the chest with the back of her hand, and then turned and walked contentedly towards the gate.
"Ah, Lesna, wait for me." Wallace left after her.
When they came out of the show, it was nearly dusk, and Lesna was lazily stretching her limbs in front of the brilliant golden light, while Wallace stood behind, silently watching her with a gentle, concerned gaze.
As soon as she lowered her arms, the deafening sound of wheels and the sound of several horses' hooves reached her ears, and she instantly became alert, surrounded by subspace in the blink of an eye.
"Warcraft!? Where is it?! Lesna immediately drew her queen card.
"Lesna! Heavenly! In heaven! Wallace pointed anxiously to the sky.
"What?!" Lesna gritted her teeth and looked in the direction Wallace was pointing.
A blue-gray chariot drawn by a black and white horse galloped towards them as if it were driving on the road, and the driver was a long-haired young man with a rebellious smile on his face!
