"It's a big sun, it's hot."

Lily muttered as she looked at the scorching sun in the sky.

"If only Miss hadn't been so old-fashioned, if she just refused, it would have been enough to reply with a letter with only one word 'roll', and now I have to run so far......."

Ms. Shelley has a simple and serious personality, and she believes that the attitude of "making a decision and announcing it out" is that it must be said in person, and that any decision to be notified in writing is "not formal enough".

However, Luolai's identity is too different from her, and it is naturally impossible for her to walk up to the other party in person and tell him, don't harass me in the future, that would really be a loss of identity.

Therefore, as her spokesperson, Lily, the maid who grew up with her, became the best person to make the announcement.

not only continues to maintain her rigorous attitude, but also does not lose face, at most she will suffer Lily.

After all, she was not qualified to ride in the carriage of the Joselo family, and there was no possibility of a coachman stopping on Sunset Boulevard, so she had to walk from the villa to the bustling downtown area and then take the carriage to the college on the edge of the city.

This is not a short journey.

Of course, Lily only dared to whisper in her heart for a few words, there was no real negative emotion, and what she was told would be done very well.

The first thing she did when she arrived at the academy was to look for the student named "Rolle Ziegler".

Originally, she thought that she would need some more effort, but she didn't expect it to be unexpectedly simple.

According to classmates who knew Rowley, his whereabouts were exceptionally unpretentious.

Student dormitories, classrooms, libraries, and occasionally interspersed with cafeterias are his daily routines.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and the class is over and it's not yet time for dinner, so he should be in the library...... What does he look like, you ask? Well...... If you see a boy who is dressed ordinarily but is the most beautiful, and is followed by an ordinary-looking male who looks like a big smart man, then there is no doubt that it is him. ”

Following her classmates' instructions, Lily arrives at the library.

The library of the Royal Academy of Glenia has a history of more than 1,000 years, and the scale has become very large after several expansions, and the rest area has several floors, so it stands to reason that it should be very difficult to find someone in such a large place, but I don't know if it is because of the troublesome task, the replacement made is to make Lily's luck very good.

It only took ten minutes for her to find a boy who matched the characteristics described by her classmates.

The boy sits by the window, his body slightly sideways, and puts his posture in the most comfortable state; The eyebrows and eyes are gentle, the expression is calm, the curvy fine black hair is attached to the forehead, and the contours of the cheeks are painted with a faint gold edge by the sunlight seeping through the window.

Judging from his appearance, this teenager fits the description of the classmate very well, and there is indeed a thick and slightly good-looking male next to him, and he is talking to the teenager.

I don't know what they said, but the male suddenly showed a very pompous expression of astonishment, and he really didn't look very smart.

But this is just speculation, in order to confirm whether the other party is the person she is looking for, she stepped forward and took the initiative to inquire and confirm.

"Rolle Ziegler-san, huh?"

"You are?" A look of doubt welled up in the young man's good-looking eyes.

"I am Miss Josélo's servant." Lily propped up her cold voice, which she was not so good at, and said, "Miss wants to ......"

She was about to use a combination of "cold voice", "sharp sight", and "majestic shock" to warn him to stop his stupid behavior, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the young man's excited voice.

"I've finally waited for you!"

Rolley's voice was so high-pitched that it seemed so abrupt in the quiet library that even Lily was startled by him and almost broke it.

"What are you doing?!" She frowned slightly, "Quiet! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......." Luo Lai leaned around and apologized, and when he looked back, the enthusiasm in his eyes didn't diminish at all, "I'm sorry, I'm so excited to see you, I can't control my emotions, I'm sorry." ”

The other party's apologetic gesture made it difficult for Lily to continue to investigate, so she let go of what had just happened.

Pursing her lips, she was about to continue to convey the unfinished words, but the young man spoke up first.

"I beg your pardon for the offense." He apologized again, and said, "Indeed, your young lady has helped me too much, and if it were not for Miss Joselo as my yearning, I would not be here at this moment, but a pile of river mud in the Ringel River." ”

“？” Lily was a little confused by what he said.

His own young lady didn't know him at all, and it was impossible for him to save his life, why did he look like the young lady was his life-saving benefactor?

But.......

Lily scrutinized Rolley several times, trying to find the flaws in the other party's thoughts, but everywhere she looked, she saw only overflowing sincerity.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Lily was a little impatient, "Don't try to have a relationship with my young lady with some inexplicable words, you don't ........"

"It's a nice day." Luo Lai suddenly turned his head and looked at the sky, with a hint of unpredictable emotion in his voice, "I vaguely remember two years ago, it wasn't like this. ”

With a soft sigh, he and Lily made eye contact.

"We haven't seen the sun for a long time."

Lily was slightly stunned, and suddenly something flashed through her mind.

In the history books of any country, war is the central point that runs almost through the whole text, and the history of Grenia is close to a thousand years, and it is impossible to experience fewer wars, the most recent of which was just a dozen years ago.

Was that a 170-year-old affair? As for the opponent, it is the Frank kingdom from across the channel, which is also the winner of this war.

In the beginning, Glenia had a large advantage, but as the battle line gradually lengthened, the Glenians, who were not fighting on their own soil, soon lost this advantage along with the territory they occupied, and it was the new alchemy technology that the Franks had unearthed to deal a fatal blow to Grenya.

Alchemy was born very early, but at first no one cared about it because of various factors and the fact that the effort did not match the reward, and the Glenians have always admired the way of knighthood, and they prefer to use swords and magic to have a hard-to-head duel with each other than to disgust their opponents with all kinds of alchemy items.

This martial demeanor had always made them invincible on the battlefield against enemy nations, but for the first time, the Franks felt so helpless when they pulled out a special alchemy-made weapon.

Powerful mages can strike targets from thousands of miles away, brave knights can destroy a city, this is the goal that people have always tempered themselves, but when alchemy cannons appeared on the battlefield, they found that slightly weaker mages can do the same, and death squads armed with dangerous alchemy spears can drag a bunch of knights of the same level or even higher level into the water alone.

With the blessing of this black technology, Glenia failed unexpectedly.

Since then, Glenia has finally taken up the art of alchemy and has begun to climb technology.

As the royal capital of Glenia with the strongest academic style, it has naturally become the craziest city of Pantech.

It's just that, according to the first principle of alchemy "equivalent exchange", everything will have a corresponding price.

The consequence of Glenya's frenzied climb to technology was that the poisonous smoke from the alchemy workshop that rained down hovered above the city, unable to disperse for a long time, and even the light of the sun was obscured; For convenience, all the garbage produced in it is put into the Ringer River, which is the "mother river" of the Glenians.

At that time, the streets and alleys of Glenia City were stinking, and the original clear and clear river water was also dyed a disgusting dark green color, but no one cared, whether it was politicians or commoners, even the royal family, regarded it as a symbol of "progress" - because they lived in a place where there was never waste material, and the poisonous mist in the sky was dispersed by a powerful magic array to the rest of the city, as for the Lungel River...... Who cares?

This sight lasted for almost a decade, and the poisonous gases in the sky finally condensed to a certain extent over time, and then.

It's starting to kill.

Naturally, the first to suffer were the civilians living in remote areas, because under the intentional guidance, the poisonous fog was dispersed from inside the city, and without the blessing of a powerful magic circle in the peripheral areas, it was extremely difficult for the poisonous fog full of magical aura to be dispelled by nature.

As a result, large swaths of civilians fell.

At this point, it finally became clear that this situation could not be allowed to continue, or the civilians would be doomed.

So who is this person?

It's Duke Joselo.

With a wave of his hand, he appealed to the king, angrily accusing the royal family of inaction, and asked his nine-year-old daughter, Seran Joselo, to personally lead people to the slums to help those in need.

It was also the cry of Duke Joselo that made people wake up and start to clean up the environment.

It took almost five years for the skies to clear again, the river to clear again, and the streets to look new.

Perhaps it is also because of such a thing that people pay more and more attention to their living environment, so two years later, when people look at the sky, they can hardly visualize the scene of that year.

"Do you remember?" Rolley's eyes were misty, "Actually, the first time I met Miss Joselo, it was at that time. ”

Her pretended calm expression was childish for her age, but when she stretched out her trembling hand to caress the cheeks of the children who were lying on the ground and couldn't get up, she was dressed in white like a real angel who had descended from the mortal world.

Lily blinked, as if she had an understanding: "So, you are one of those children, and you like my young lady because of ........"

"No, I just happened to be passing by."

“........”

"The reason I'm passing by is that I'm going to jump the Ringel River."

"Huh?"

"As for the reason for jumping into the river, it is also very simple.

In the face of the girl's confusion, Luolai's voice remained calm.

"My parents."

"And died that day."
