“…… It turned out to be that sentence. ”

Aleister sighed and changed the subject: "Speaking of which...... Do you still have the urge to transcend the path? ”

Looking at David's visibly hesitant expression, Aleister added, "If you have one, you can tell me about it.

"After all, it's hard for us to see each other again in the future, and we're not usually in the same social circle. You can treat me as a hole in a tree and vent what you dare not say to the people around you. ”

“…… That's still not going to work. ”

Unexpectedly, David rejected Aleister's offer.

"Why?"

"You and Mr. Ivas are friends, and I respect him. He's an amazing guy...... Gentle, upright and kind. ”

Mr. "Knight" hesitated for a moment, but then said, "I don't want him to know that I am a person who has a tendency to transcend the path. ”

…… Wow.

Hello can boast about people.

Aleister even felt choked on the compliment, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

But soon, a gentle smile like a child appeared on her face: "That's it...... Then we'll make a pact, David. I swear I won't tell Ivas what you said to me, okay? ”

"But is that really good?"

David said with some concern: "You are friends, right?" In this case, you are hiding something from your friends...... I'm afraid you're going to quarrel over it. I have a lot of respect for all of you, and if you quarrel over this reason, it will be my fault. ”

“…… That's it. If I want to tell Ivus about you, I'll have to get your consent first. That's okay, right? ”

Aleister looked like he took a step back.

And David was clearly successfully coaxed. He thought seriously for a moment, then nodded slowly: "That's fine." If you're going to quarrel over this, remember to tell me...... No, if it's an emergency, I'll just say yes. ”

"Seriously, I think you're better suited to the Path."

Aleister exclaimed, "You are indeed a good boy. ”

But when he heard Aleister praise himself for being a good boy, David pouted instead, obviously a little unhappy.

He didn't answer, but made a straight face and made an adult appearance, and said the business seriously: "Miss Alest, I have seriously considered the three questions you asked me. ”

"Just call me Aleister." Aleister added with a chuckle.

"Yes, Lord Alestri."

David was a little stubborn, but maybe he just didn't dare to call Aleister by his name.

He said seriously: "I think I have been able to achieve at least the first two points consistently.

—the courage to live to die, and the consciousness to challenge an invincible enemy.

"The only point ...... the third point is that 'give up the victories that have already been achieved in order to seek greater victories,' which is somewhat difficult. I think I might be able to do it, and I have that determination. But I haven't really faced such a painful choice...... So I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that then......"

At first, it looked like he didn't want to talk about it. But after opening the conversation, he began to talk non-stop.

Obviously, he usually has a lot of sorrow and trouble, but he doesn't dare to say these words to others.

Although Aihuas knew that the illegality of Avalon's transcendental path came largely from the illegality of the noble red, which monopolized the knowledge of transcendental paths. And with the Noble Red now being extinguished, the Transcendence Path will soon be lifted.

The restrictions on other paths are basically career restrictions. For example, the Dusk Path could be a Keeper or a Necromancer. From the point of view of the general morality of the Avalons, the former is the good and the latter is the bad.

But apparently, David, who is unaware of politics, is not aware of the problems with this position.

He simply felt that he was touching Avalon's taboo.

On the one hand, he did feel the resonance of the path, but on the other hand, his father's identity made him afraid to say it to anyone.

He was afraid that his father would be disappointed in him, and that he would cause him trouble.

Only "Miss Aless", the transcendent who was a transcendent and kindly prevented him from embarking on this path, could make him boldly express the sorrows in his heart.

David sat across the table and spoke to Aleister.

At first, it was the "Three Principles of Transcending the Path" that Ivas had shown him, and then he talked about his classmates very smoothly, and then began to complain to the hollow of the figure of Aleister.

He thinks his classmates are too naïve. There is no idea, no dream, and no responsibility. It's as if they're just going to live one day at a time, squandering their time at will...... And this made David feel uncomfortable. Because he was repeatedly educated by his own parents, he was given great pressure; On the other hand, he did feel tired.

That's why he skips class - his skipping class is not because he is playful, but because he thinks that "the teacher can't give him what he wants", and he wants to learn something more useful and profound. But even his parents didn't know what David really thought.

For David did not dare to say these words. He felt that this was "too transcendent" and would make people doubt the adaptability of his path. Therefore, he is still deliberately hiding his true thoughts.

Aleister just smiled and catered to him. As David spoke, it slowly became natural.

From the upright sitting posture, it gradually changed to a lazy appearance lying on the table. David was 1.6 meters tall, but the interrogation chair was too tall for him to accentuate the tall image of the interrogator, making his legs swing back and forth very naturally.

And under the inducement of Aleister, David talked about his emotional side very smoothly.

He did have a favorite girl in his class.

It was a bishop's child, the same age as he was this year. Her mother, like Bishop Mathers, was a clerical councillor in the Round Table Room. That's probably why they were able to study in the same school.

At first, David secretly liked her because of her gentleness and kindness.

Because he felt that the other party had a "mature" temperament - or rather, it was different from the thirteen or fourteen-year-old kids around him. That kind of feeling of taking care of people, like a sister. Against the backdrop of those carefree children, it seems that the other party is much more precocious than others.

But David did not confess to her, but secretly observed.

But soon, he felt disappointed again. Because he found that the other party was not as mature as he thought...... She's also headstrong, she's loud, and she likes things that kids love too.

And what shocked him the most was that at a social party, he saw the girl arguing with her mother, saying that she was going home, and even cried directly - it was a completely different image from her gentleness and generosity in school.

David never argued with his parents.

He adores his parents and dreams of being like them, able to protect others with his life.

"That's right."

Aleister whispered, "So you don't like her?" ”

"Hmm."

David nodded, but was a little lost: "Or, I actually never knew the real her." What I liked was just a silhouette of her, and I thought it was all she had. ”

"Yes, I can say something quite philosophical."

Aleister smiled: "It's good that you can figure it out yourself." ”

"Yes, so I'm planning not to fall in love or get married in the future."

David raised his head and said seriously, "I will protect Avalon with all my life." ”

"Then you're going to be beaten up by your father." Aleister chuckled lightly.

Hearing this, David shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak.

He really wanted to be a "hero". I was indeed beaten by my father.

In fact, his original dream was to become a "sacrificial hero" and be worshipped and mourned - and then he was beaten up by George, and he reluctantly took a step back and changed his dream to "hero".

"But I still ...... Want to fight to the end and sacrifice for others. ”

David whispered his true thoughts: "If I had a wife and children, they would surely grieve my death...... It's like if my father died, I would be very sad. And if I die, it will affect their lives as well...... So, I think it's better not to get too close to other people. ”

This was the thought he had hidden in his heart.

If he hadn't had such a happy conversation with Aleister, he would never have said it.

- Because it seems to be admitting that one's sacrifice is "ulterior motives". Then they will no longer be pure heroes, but just fanatics who yearn for death.

Aleister was thoughtful.

She also felt it, not so much that David wanted to be a hero...... Rather, it is that he longs for a heroic death like fireworks.

This is determined by his adaptability to transcend the path.

In other words, when neither of his parents had the ability to transcend the path, he had such a clear desire to transcend at such a young age, which shows that he is abnormal in himself. It's just that the Great Guardian's education is so good that it overshadows his problems.

- Then maybe you can really hand over the Ascendant Warlock to him.

This kind of profession of living to the death is undoubtedly the most suitable for David.

"So be it, David."

Aleister whispered, "Do you believe me?" ”

"I have great faith in you, Lord Alestri!"

David said firmly, with some eagerness in his eyes: "Is there any task to be given to me!" ”

Although Aleister is not the same as the image of a mature woman in his imagination...... But this gentle and intellectual, sister-like image really made him want to stay closer.

He also believes that Aleister is by no means a bad person.

Or rather, Aleister, who can be approved by his father and is willing to let him come into contact with...... There is no doubt that she must be innocent and good!

And watching in the interrogation room in the depths of winter, Miss Aleister, wearing only a sweater, was restrained in a chair...... This made him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

If anything could be done for her......

"In that case, when you're promoted again...... You can go to Miss Lycia. ”

Aleister said softly, "You said that Aleister introduced you and got permission from Ehuas. I want to ask her for the 'secret of molting and rejuvenating'. You say you're looking for seven memories that you can use in your ritual......"

Hearing this, David couldn't help but widen his eyes and straighten up.

It dawned on him that this was not a task. It's an opportunity.

He listened intently to the mystery that Aleister was telling, and there was a faint purple aura at the bottom of his pupils.

Holding Aleister's skirt, Lizia, who was about to enter the door, stopped at the door.

She closed her eyes and listened for a moment, then shook her head silently.

Wait for Aleister to finish talking to David, and wait for David to confirm the details. She waited a little longer before reaching out and knocking on the door.

"Miss Crowley," Lygia said in a childish but inexplicably majestic voice, "the interrogation is complete. You can leave now. ”

Then she pushed open the door to the interrogation room.
