Chapter Twenty-Seven: Separation [Announcement]
[Announcement: Since the author is going out for two days, just one episode has been posted, so I will stop updating for two days and post the next episode when I come back.] 】
Two days later, Princess Flomi and the knights of the Day of Illumination left the Misty Hotel for another city. The Holy Shield and the Magic Hand also withdrew.
Syk returns to a peaceful everyday life. Every day is to commute to work, eat with Xiaojiao, read books, and nothing else. He thought he had managed to secure his life, but a week later, when he was about to go to work, the supervisor stopped him at the door and handed him a cardboard box. When Xi Ke saw that the personal belongings he had kept in the cabinet at work were in cardboard boxes. He had a bad feeling at the moment. He had heard of this expulsion ritual that had been passed down from the battlements.
The supervisor said, "Did you read the news?"
"Look. 」
The amendments to the laws related to magical objects have finally been passed, and in the future, high-risk magical objects need to be recognized by the state to be raised, and general magical objects have also been added to the specification, and magical objects with certain conditions are directly stipulated that they cannot be sold to people who do not have a mage license. Since the regulations are quite strict, there are no loopholes to drill, which is almost equivalent to those special magical ** things that can only be raised by mages. Everyone thought it would be a major blow to the magical ** property. The number of people who raise magical ** things will be greatly reduced, and the magic ** things that are difficult to raise will be unpopular.
This also means that the department where the company is located will lay off a large number of employees. But Rick didn't think it would cut him. After all, he is very good and works hard.
"We're going to ask you to walk. The supervisor said what the Rick didn't want to hear, he cleared his throat and said, "Don't think I'm making things difficult for you, it's that you really have a problem with your work attitude. You always forget to clean the workbench and let others clean it up for you, and you won't tidy up the claws of ** things when you come back from a walk, and you break the cleaning machine, and leave the scene without saying a word, do you know how much that repair costs......
The more Xi Ke listened, the more strange it became, if the director said that he walked off the route (giant eagle), was frightened by the ** thing (Giant Madness), ran lazily to the king's hall (flat fish), or injured the ** thing (skeleton bird), then he had nothing to say, he really did it, but he didn't commit anything he said about it!
Xi Ke looked into the work area and noticed that his colleagues inside deliberately avoided his gaze. The supervisor saw Nick looking that way, moved his body to block Nick's view, and said, "They told me these things for the good of the company. It's your fault for getting expelled, don't push it on someone else. 」
Rick had enough social experience to understand the scene that he said, "I think you'll find out — no, you'll never find out that you've snare all your buckets in your department, and wonder why there's not a single person in the world who wants to work hard. Rick glanced at the Director, and the knife-like light in his eyes made the Director furious. "You have the right to fire me, but I won't admit what I haven't done. If the salary and severance pay are all given to me, then I will leave obediently, but if I want to deduct damages, we will see you in court. 」
Nick got the money without a hitch.
He skillfully moved out of the dormitory and walked down the street with a small amount of luggage. Think about what to do next. Go home? He doesn't want to do that. Later, he stood next to the traffic light and thought for a long time, and the traffic light changed several times, and he remembered what Ampett had said.
"Because the world is infinite. Even if you deduct the impossibilities that you know, you still don't know what will happen to you, so you can change yourself because of those things, and there are infinite possibilities for the future. 」
Remembering what Ampaert had said, and thinking of what Xiao Ballast was going to do, Rick decided that he would also travel.

Three days after separating from Shuilon, the husband of the eldest princess, Isolon, died "unexpectedly" in Nirvana. Shuilonu saw the news broadcast on TV in the university cafeteria, saw the reporter at the airport, desperately squeezed next to Flomi, who was about to return to China, and asked loudly, "How does it feel about your husband dead?" and "Do you feel sad?"
One accidentally, Flomi fell, and the knight was too busy blocking the reporter to hold her back. The camera's flash immediately flickered wildly.
Flomi propped herself on the ground with her elbows and didn't hit her chin. She gritted her teeth and stood up on her own and walked forward.
Shuilonu sat in the cafeteria for a long time, and the news did not broadcast pictures of Isolon. There is only one photograph that is said to have been taken when he was studying at Master Evansar University and there was a heavy fog on the campus one day.
In the photo, Isolon, in the middle of the bleak forest road, is a distant black shadow, as if he is walking towards a place where no one can reach.
Two months later, the newspaper published the news that Flomi had died of illness in Nirvana. As for the whereabouts of the other knights, Shuilonu is unknown.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Shuilonu knew that Silke had been dismissed a month before the winter break, and it was only then that Silke thought it was time to tell Silke not to come to him. So he beat the devil and gave it to Xiao Xuan.
"Little ballast, help me tell Shuilonu that I'm no longer in the nest, and tell her not to come to me. Rick said.
"Ahh 」
"But I don't know how to contact her!"
"The most important thing to know a girl is to get a magic number, how on earth did you leave this out?"
Xiao Zhen didn't have a way to contact Shuilonu directly, so Xiao Zhen reluctantly told Seren: "Lord Seren, please tell Shuilonu that Xike has been fired." 」
"Oh, yes. Seren readily agreed, and then sent the magic message to Shuilonu's house to her father: "Here's the thing, Syk seems to be selling fried squid, and I don't know why I told your daughter about it. 」
"Oh, was he expelled?" Lord Rand is worthy of being a diplomat who knows many Chinese, and he is also very knowledgeable about miscommunication, and he can easily guess what the original message is. He sent a message to Shuilonu in the university dormitory: "Daughter, you better think about this man. 」
"Huh?" Shuilonu couldn't understand what was going on.
"A man who doesn't have a job can't be entrusted for life. 」
"Oh, he's lost his job, isn't he?" Shuilonu was quite fatherly, and easily guessed the facts: "So what?"
"Looks like I just wanted to tell you about it. 」
"No way, I'm going to go to him, Dad, you ask me better. 」
But Lord Rand insisted on refusing to help her daughter chase the man, so she turned into Shuilono's mother and told Seren: "Lord Seren. 」
"Yes. 」
"I heard that Xike, he's unemployed, isn't he?"
"Yes. 」
"Does he need help finding a job?"
"I don't think I heard of it, but the Mage Practice Bureau should be able to help. 」
"Is he hungry and has no money?"
"I don't know, but his master should be able to raise him. 」
"Winter is coming, does he have a thick quilt? Tell him that if he has nowhere to escape the cold, he can come to our house—"
Lord Rand snatched the demon and said, "Ask him what he wants to say to my daughter!" and quickly cut off the magic word.
Seren looked at the magic bell for two seconds, and dialed the magic word to Xiao Xuan. At this time, Xiao Zheng grabbed his briefcase and went out to the local prosecutor's office, but he didn't receive this magic call. So Serian went to Ampat's house.
"Hello Dragon's Nest, please don't sell industrial products, I don't have any money. 」
"Master Ampaert, I'm Seren. Is Rick there?"
"No, he sent me a letter saying, 'I'm going to be out for a while, and I'll come back hungry. 』」
"When will he get hungry?"
"Every minute and every second. 」
Serens was silent.
"But he'll be foraging for his own food now, and it may be a long time before he returns," said Ampat. 」
"Sorry to bother you. Seren hung up the call and dialed Nemo's operator.
The operator lazily asked, "Who is it?"
"If you obediently help me pick up Nemo Ciaco, I won't tell your eldest wife that you bought a pearl necklace for your fourth wife three days ago, and a jade brooch for your sixth wife yesterday, and I won't give you and your younger wife's—" Serian said a long list of conversations that were inappropriate for children in a very calm, chanting tone, "- the voice record is given to your second wife. 」
The operator didn't say a word, and immediately helped Serian transfer Naimo.
"Hey, Knight?"
"Do you know where the Rick is? he's missing. 」
"Isn't it going to get fired and get involved in some other trouble somewhere else?"
"I don't know. 」
"Sounds interesting, let's form a search team to find him, and I can pass the time. Lisna hadn't been able to pay attention to the baby until she was weaned, and Naimo was bored now.
"I'll go too, I have questions for him to answer!" Seren, taking Rand's words as an assignment.
"I'll ask the other people's opinions first, and I'll call you later. 」
Nemo then dialed Schuelon's magic number. Unlike Silk, he and Silke were chatting at the observation deck when they were about to get in touch: "Sister Sugaro, Silke is missing. 」
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know, Serian and I are going to find him, are you going?"
"It's winter break, if he doesn't show up by then, let's go find him!" Shuilonu exclaimed.

Xiao Zhen wrote a letter to Gahna.
"To Gahna:
"After the last time we met, I thought about it, and there were some things that didn't seem to be made clear to you. I don't seem to have told you anything about my parents. You know what they do, my mom is a knight, my dad is a magic civil servant, but I don't seem to have told you what they are like at home.
"My mom isn't usually home.
"Because of work, my mom is very busy, and often can't keep her promise to travel together, and misses almost all important days, and my six siblings were raised by my dad.
"What I often see at home is my dad moving books and papers from the study to the living room in the middle of the night, lighting the lamp and sitting on the sofa to work. Whenever my mom was on some dangerous mission, or on a scheduled day to come back, my dad would always wait in the living room for her to get home, or wait, hoping that no notice would come. Compared to the study, it was only a little distance from the door, and he would always sit in the nearest place.
"When I was a child, I didn't really understand it, and I used to think that this family was all paid by my father, which was very unfair, but when I asked my father, my father told me: 'Because she is worth it. 』
"When I grew up, I slowly understood that love can't be calculated by tangible things. The relationship between two people is unequal, and it is not just by looking at the appearance. No matter what my mom was doing in the world, my dad was sure she was his wife. My dad was willing to give for her because he knew he was special in my mother's heart. She never forgot everything her dad did for her, and she loved her dad passionately. You've seen this in my house, right? It's shy to look at from the sidelines.
"There is nothing to take for granted in love, and I didn't believe in the myths of 'living happily ever after' since I was a child. If you want to go hand in hand, you also have to face all kinds of tribulations in this world. Our generation has heard the wartime stories of the older generation, and it is almost a miracle to look together, and life and death are the norm in that era. Like many wives who send their husbands to war in tears, there are many things in life that have to be faced alone. When I was a child, I couldn't understand it, but when I grew up, I realized that if my mother gave up her job, many people would die. There were a lot of letters from the people she had saved, many of whom had gone on to start families, and none of that would have happened if she hadn't worked. If my dad chooses to follow her and leave us in the care of relatives, then our six brothers and sisters will have neither a mother nor a father, and there will be an irreparable hole in our lives.
"I don't know if that's enough to convey what I'm trying to say. You said you were going to Nirvana, and I can agree that this matter is very important, and I know how important this matter is to you. I didn't ask you if you wanted to come with me, because I guess you'd say no at once, and stubbornly won't listen to me. With the one who wrote the letter, you can't reject me right away.
"I want to go with you. I don't know if you have noticed that in the history of our country, every important change has involved lawyers and doctors. The person who wrote the constitution of my country is a doctor, and it is a lawyer who is committed to its implementation, although many of my predecessors have become only interested in money and fame, but my goal is not there. You know who my idol is, and I want to be like him, speaking up for the persecuted side – no matter how beautiful the persecutor of the weak may be. I'm writing these things in the hope that you understand that I think those things are as important as you do.
"So I'm not going to stop you, and I want to go with you. I like you, and now that I can keep up, I don't want to stay and wait. I know you'll take care of yourself, and you've told me a lot about your plans on how to keep you safe, but I've seen enough of the pain of waiting, and I don't want to wait.
"You don't like to owe favors to others, and I guess you're worried that you can't afford to pay for you. First of all, I have already said that this is not just for you, but for Ataro, and again, if you are willing to be my person, then all this does not need to be calculated.
"I'm waiting for your answer.
"I have a small ballast pen of resignation in my hand
"Note: I will do my best to send out my resignation as soon as possible, because it will take me time to find someone to replace me, and I can't cause too much trouble to my seniors. It's not threatening you, you don't have to worry about me being out of work, I have a lot of friends.
"Renote: Actually, I'm an impulsive person, before my grandfather passed away, I took a year off from school and ran to find his inheritance. But I'm impulsive and never regret it, so you should never say I didn't think it through. No matter how long I think about it, the answer is the same, I like you.
"Again: If you are going to reject me, please think twice before replying, and if you wish, please reply as soon as possible. 」

While she was writing letters in another city in Sarafayido, Gahena had packed several large boxes of books to store in her hometown, and she was closing them as she thought about what her friends and mother had recently said to her.
After learning about Jiahena's plan, because everyone around her knew Jiahena's personality, no one stopped her, but she got a lot of similar advice from different people (who had all eaten the cakes from the old shop that Xiao Yu gave them): "You should make sure that Xiao Zhen wants to go with you. 」
In fact, Gahena knew that Xiao Zhen liked her. Although her friends did not interfere with her relationship, they all reminded her of the meaning behind the man's actions, and they all thought that Xiao's series of actions were "significant". It's just that she's not used to getting closer slowly, and she's not used to changing the way she gets along, so she doesn't know what to do, and she can't figure out how to express it. If it weren't for the fact that she also wanted to get closer to Xiao Xuan, she wouldn't have agreed to Xiao Jiao going on an exorcism trip with her, after all, it was a lonely man and a widow's trip!
Friends and her mother told her that this time it was the bottom line. Nekukamina is too dangerous after all. Going on a fun or some research-gathering trip where you can sneak up on a day is just dating. If Xiao Ji even wants to follow Nirvana, it can be regarded as a marriage proposal.
Gahena made up her mind that if she said that he was going to Nirvana with her, she would tell him how she felt, "I want to be with you. 」
