Chapter Thirty-Eight: Loneliness, Emptiness, and Coldness
"Good. Sir Liszt showed a teachable expression, and then asked Xavier's right hand to help build the tombstones in front of him, and Caroline, who followed behind, was not idle, and went to help the two.
This series of tombstones belong to the soldiers who died in this battle to defend the city, although the number is small, but they are still living lives, sacrificed to protect the safety of everyone.
In the face of these righteous soldiers, Xavier naturally did not hesitate to pay his respect, and saluted them with a standard military salute, and offered flowers on their tombstones.
"I intend to make September 15 a festival in my village. The captain looked at the names on the tombstones and said to Xavier, "Go and remember these warriors who died for the village of Reston." ”
In this way, even if they sacrifice, they can survive the long river of time and in the mouths of people. ”
This is the concept of keeping Dan's heart...... Xavier sighed silently in his heart, just like the public sacrifice on December 13 in his previous life, commemorating those innocent victims, but also warning future generations not to forget the history that happened before.
Since the barbarians have violated them, they deserve to pay!
And these costs will be collected by the subsequent reinforcements of the Empire, who will take the north back step by step and drive the barbarians back to their original lands!
It's a pity that there is an atomic bomb...... Xavier thought to himself.
After building the tombstone and paying his respects, the captain said to Xavier, "By the way, I have already reported to you for your work this time, and you should know your reward in the near future." ”
"Credit?" In fact, Xavier was more concerned about the rewards of the system, so when he heard what the captain said, he was still a little sluggish for a while.
The baron, on the other hand, thought he was frightened, and reassured, "You have killed at least twenty barbarians, isn't it very deserving to be rewarded?"
In fact, there are hundreds of ...... Xavier sneered in his heart, but it's a pity that the effect of the connection can't be counted on him, otherwise it would really be the so-called one-man husband.
Of course, if this really happens, he will probably be arrested and studied by others to see if he has any metaphysics that can spread death.
"Captain, can you reveal a little bit about it first?" Xavier asked, feigning curiosity.
"Well, it's not good to reveal it upfront, you'll know then. The baron replied with a smirk, but he refused to say it.
You want to whet my appetite again...... What's the difference between you and the kind of broken writers in your previous life? Xavier complained inwardly, pretending not to care in response, "Okay, then we'll see." ”
~~~~~~
After a few casual conversations with the captain, Xavier returned to his dormitory, and then planned to let Caroline leave on her own, but heard the girl say:
"Mr. Xavier, it's my responsibility to take care of you......"
"Then I'm going to change my clothes now, are you going to help me change my clothes?" Xavier laughed and mocked.
"Ah..... I ......"
Seeing this overwhelmed expression, Xavier immediately smiled and ordered: "It's just talk, you better go to Isabella and play with them first, and I will send someone to find you when I need you." ”
"But can you really be alone?" asked Caroline, still uneasy.
"I'm not a waste. Xavier replied angrily, and walked back to the dormitory, leaving the girl standing alone in front of the door.
Caroline was just an ordinary sixteen-year-old girl, and she didn't want someone else's reputation to be tarnished by her slight actions, and it would be even worse if there was a misunderstanding. Although this is mostly my fantasy, it is not allowed to ...... He silently repeated it in his mind a few times, and then observed his dormitory, and found that it was still so familiar and comfortable.
This was his temporary home, in a way, he had lost his real home, and now it was only his new home, but after one experience after another, he had made it his home completely.
But as he lay down on the window and looked at the ceiling, something came to his mind.
Now that he has become a one-armed man, although he doesn't need the human body to refine it, but he can't practice swords for at least three months, so what should he do during this time?
Watching dramas, watching anime, sending barrages, watching short videos, but unfortunately these don't exist in other worlds.
Suddenly, he wanted to chat with the girl next to him, but found that she had been driven away by himself.
“......”
Well, you will not live. Xavier touched his forehead with his right hand, and after a long pause, he finally chose to walk out of the room and go to the captain's barracks.
Just as he walked out of the house, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Mr. Xavier, are you looking for me?"
It was Caroline who said this, and she was sitting on a large rock, quietly watching Xavier.
Hearing this familiar voice, Xavier couldn't help but smile, but suddenly forcibly withdrew it, pretending to be angry and said, "Why are you still here?"
"I'm afraid that if you need anything, sir, you won't find anyone to help, so I'm waiting by the side, will I disturb sir like this?" Caroline suddenly lowered her head, as if she had made some big mistake.
Xavier: "......"
After a moment of silence, Xavier coughed and commanded, "You're not wrong, forget it, accompany me to see the captain." ”
"Yes, Mr. Xavier. Caroline smiled and nodded in response.
The reason why he wanted to meet the captain was because in the bed myth just now, he found one thing that he could do, and that was to learn magic!
Although according to the system's data, his magic power is 0/0, but he remembers that according to the captain, mental power will also affect the use of magic, so he wants to see if his body can also use some low-level magic like the captain.
Even if it might just be his delusion, he wants to give it a try!
It just so happened that the captain was not busy at this time, and when he saw Xavier coming and expressed his request, he didn't ask too much, and just threw him two books, which were called "The Nature of Magic" and "The Use of the Lowest Magic".
The reason why he is not curious is because in his opinion, Xavier has no curiosity at all after seeing the power of magic.
Then, he arranged a seat for the girl next to him, and looked at the two of them at the same time and said:
"First of all, I don't mean to fight you, but first of all, to use magic, magic and spiritual power are both necessary and indispensable, so most of the subjects of the empire will not use magic for the rest of their lives. ”
"If you're one of them, don't be discouraged, because a swordsman can get the same status as a mage, even a scholar, or a priest, or a demon hunter. ”
"I see. Xavier nodded in response, and then saw Caroline next to him also nodding his head.
"It's good to understand. The captain smiled and picked up Xavier's The Nature of Magic: "Then I'll start with the most basic principles of magic. ”
