Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 72 72. Returning to Lantcos City

"Welcome home." Dean Futespa was wearing a white robe, with golden ribbons floating between his arms.

Ghis wasn't there, and Lycia didn't know who to share her disdain for Futespa with.

Licia was standing in the second row of the line, her eyes were erratic, and she happened to see a young man standing in the welcoming crowd with a 5.00% favorability score, wearing a short leather jacket and wearing tall black leather boots teacher.

Lycia studied his face carefully, but she didn't know him, she had never met him before.

"Do you know that teacher? The one in black leather, with black hair." Licia nudged Fudomi next to her and asked in a low voice.

"Ah, he is a teacher who teaches close combat, Harley Quinn. Licia may not take his class until the second half of the year." Fudomi replied.

Licia nodded vigilantly. He was standing in the row closest to Futespa, and he might be the bow bearer who attacked them in the cemetery.

"Is he close to the dean?" Licia's question caused Fudomi's misunderstanding.

"Probably not, Mr. Dean doesn't look like he would fall in love with a man. But Mr. Harry seems to have always admired Mr. Dean. During class, he would always mention what Mr. Dean once said." Fudo Mi replied quietly.

Dimitri looked back at Licia and Fudomi, and the two immediately stopped chatting.

Because the day they came back happened to be a rest day, there were many carriages parked in the academy.

After the meeting, Lizia scanned the house, but she didn't see her carriage.

"Licia! Miss Licia!" Posetti waited for a long time, and finally saw Licia after the crowd gradually dispersed.

"Long time no see." Licia brushed her hair and greeted shyly.

"Long time no see, really long time no see, Miss Licia is still so charming, hehe." Posetti was dressed very neatly today, and she even wore perfume on her body.

"Well, Miss Licia, are you free tonight, can I invite you to dinner?" Posetti scratched his head with his hands after finishing speaking, his black face flushed. "I've booked a restaurant on Croatian Street, when, of course, it's all right if you don't want to."

Licia smiled slightly, just in time to go to Lanlan Street and rent a carriage to go home. "I'd love to, Percetti."

Dimitri boarded the royal golden carriage and passed Licia.

"Can we take Licia back? Her family doesn't seem to know she's back." Tata took off her cloak, and it wasn't cold in Lantcos City in April.

"She doesn't need it." Dimitri withdrew his gaze and sat very upright without saying a word. Tata could feel his unhappiness.

"Tata, would you like to marry me to the West?"

Tata was taken aback. "Brother! Are you going to marry me to the west? It's very cold there!"

Dimitri shook his head. "Of course not. There should be no aristocratic girl willing to live in the West."

Tata patted his chest. "Brother, I just want to stay in Lantcos City forever."

*

"Miss Licia, you are so brave." Posetti kept praising Licia about her experience of more than ten days.

"Have you ever been to the west, I mean, our place, Wood Heights." Posetti swiped his hand on the dining table, simulating traveling from Lantcos City to Wood Heights.

"Is it Wood Heights, which is very close to the Dark Mountain?" Licia remembered seeing it when she was looking for the location of the Dark Mountain.

Posett withdrew his hand and said loudly. "That's right, you actually know the Dark Mountains!"

"Have you been there?" Lycia asked.

"Of course, every Woodman has to go to the Dark Mountains. Of course, no one can climb to the top." Posetti said honestly. "About halfway up the mountain, I can't see the road at all, and I can't even see my own fingers, and then I will enter a state of no feeling. The sense of touch, smell, and hearing all disappear."

Licia listened with interest. Although she had seen these things in the travel notes, she was even more impressed by listening to Posetti in person.

"And then? How do you get back, if all the feelings are gone." Licia took a bite of the dessert, a baked dessert made of pumpkin mixed with syrup.

"Let's rely on consciousness. The consciousness is still there. I feel that I will enter a half-dead state. It should be the consciousness of wanting to survive that made me go back." Posetti also ate a spoonful of dessert, and then ate Take a big spoonful. "This pumpkin flavored cake is delicious."

Licia didn't remind him that it wasn't cake at all. "Well, then why not get a rope, so that if someone comes back unconscious, he can be pulled back by the rope."

Posetti shook his head. "It's useless. If you use a rope and lose your senses, you won't be able to feel someone pulling you, and you will continue to move forward. You may be standing still, or you may be pulled by the person who is holding you outside." , and finally died of exhaustion.”

Percetti had finished his dessert, and Licia had only a spoonful of her.

"In the past, there were explorers who wanted to go to the top of the Dark Mountains. To be honest, which warrior didn't want to go to the top, so the explorer also tied a rope around his waist. He was tied to a wooden stake. Later, someone pulled the rope out. Only one It's a frozen corpse." Posetti wiped the corners of his mouth, and put his hands on the table like a student.

"Moreover, all heraldic powers are ineffective in front of the Dark Mountains." Posett counted five gold coins and placed them on the table. "Have you finished eating? I'll take you home, Miss Licia."

Posetti's habits are completely different from other nobles. He eats as soon as he sits down, and leaves after eating.

Licia had learned from him the last time she ate with him in the cafeteria, so she wasn't surprised at all.

"I'm done eating, Posetti, but you don't need to take me home, I have to go somewhere else." Licia pressed a corner of the napkin to her lips.

"Can I accompany you?" Posetti's fiery eyes made Licia bow her head.

"Thank you, but no need." Licia shook her head.

Posetti will not pursue further questions about direct refusals.

Lycia was able to get out of the restaurant in no time, and headed for Sarran Street.

"Huh? Isn't Fulin Dona here?" It was already night, and the Lan Lan Street was already lit with candlelight.

Flindonna's bookstore was also illuminated a little, and Licia found that the door of the bookstore, which was open all year round, was closed.

She lay on the glass door and tried her best to look inside. The bookstore was quiet and there was nothing.

"It seems that I'm really not here." Licia put on her hat, put on her backpack, and planned to leave.

The door creaked open.

She glanced back, and there was a female dwarf standing there, her fingers were like Luo Puding, she pointed inward, but she didn't make a sound.

Lycia wondered if she had ever seen this dwarf.

"Hello, do you mean that Mr. Flindoner is inside?" Lycia bent down and asked the dwarf politely.

The female dwarf nodded, took a candlestick from behind, tapped the wick with her black-green finger, and lit the candle instantly.

Licia followed her into the bookstore and closed the door behind her.

There were very few people on the Lan Lan Street at night, and no one noticed a young woman coming.

For the first time, Licia crossed the counter and walked further into the bookstore.

In the faint candlelight, Lycia saw a downward passage.

She was about to step down.

A roar interrupted her movements.

"Go away! Dwarf! Don't try to do harm to me!" It was the voice of Fulin Dona who angrily pushed open the door, and then ran over.

Lycia saw the female dwarf in front of her trembling with fear, she threw away the candlestick, and then slipped into the ground.

"Miss, are you really not even a bit on guard?" Fulin Dona limped towards Licia, then stepped on the candle and lit the luminous circle. "Do you really think dwarves are good, poor creatures?"

Licia looked down and almost fainted from fright. More than a dozen pairs of densely packed dwarf hands were stretching upwards, almost reaching her feet.

"Come here, don't go to the back in the future." Flindonna took out a pipe from under the counter, lit it, and smoked for a while before looking at Licia in a leisurely manner.

"I'm looking for something." Fulin Dona ran in a hurry, and Licia didn't know where he came from.

"I want to ask about my brother, and about the other side of the Eye of the Dead Sea." Licia had already retreated to

Flindorna was in front of it.

"Case's injury has recovered, wait until May, and I will take you to see him in May." Flindoner poked the inside of the pipe with a thin wire. "We also got very little news about the Eye of the Dead Sea. Why, you should gain something from this trip."

Licia nodded. "I found this thing." She took out a drawing, which was a stick figure of a firearm. "I think it may have been brought over by someone from the other side."

Fulin Doner took the paper and squinted his eyes carefully. "I haven't seen this, but where did you see it?"

"Chinonbo." Licia didn't take the painting back, but pushed it in Flindonna's direction. "You can investigate it. At present, the information I know is that this is a weapon, and it is a weapon that even civilians can use."

"Hmm..." Flindoner put down his pipe, picked up the paper, folded it twice, and put it in the inside pocket of his coat. "If your guess is correct, the people on the other side have already gone deep, and perhaps many of their people have already mixed in the crowd."

Licia nodded. "I suppose so."

"By the way, do you still have the Dark Mountain Adventure Guide? I haven't finished reading it, but because of something happened, I lost the book." It was lost when he was dragged by the heptapods to find Kaguya Knight.

"The manuscript, since you lost it, you will have to wait at least a month before you get a new one." Fulin Dona spread his hands. "And you'll have to pay double this time."

Licia suddenly realized that she didn't seem to have too many gold coins on hand, so she had to go to the bank to get a bag.

"Money is not an issue," Licia said, and then she wondered if Dimitri would have to get the money for the shark's teeth back.

"Mr. Clown hasn't come back yet." Licia casually picked up a book next to her and flipped through two pages. It was about how to raise pink goldfish.

Flindoner took a drag on his cigarette, then turned his back and exhaled it backwards, although Lycia could still smell the smoke. "He, he probably hasn't come back for half a year."

"Then you promise to give me enough information I want? What about the promise, he won't want to let it go."

Licia frowned.

Felindorner produced another sheet of paper, and a pen. "Write it down, if you don't ask questions, do I still have to figure out your thoughts? Write, write down three things you want to know, and I will reply you in ten days."

Licia held the pen, lost in thought, ten questions.

"First, um." Licia wrote the first sentence on the paper. 'Specific circumstances of the d'Urberville family. '

"And, yes." Licia continued.

'A Detailed Life of Phutespa.

Who did Michelle Campbell meet in the last week? '

Fulin Donara came over and took a look.

"Michael Campbell? Your father? Why don't you ask him yourself." Freendona felt a little inconceivable.

"No." Licia wanted to know which people her father had been in contact with the most recently, and it was obviously not enough to just contact a clean and honest Earl Ascha.

Felindona didn't press the question. "okay, I get it."

*

Lycia hired a carriage on Croat Street and went home, and it was late when she arrived at Campbell House.

The gatekeepers are already asleep.

Licia walked in by herself, and she looked up, only the light in her father's room was still on.

"Miss, why are you back now?" Marianne was on duty today, she was dozing off in the living room, and she woke up as soon as Licia opened the door.

Marian helped Licia hang the cloak at the door, then closed the door, lit the candle, and took Licia's bag.

"Shh, don't disturb other people's rest." Licia tiptoed upstairs.

"Is my father still resting?" Licia asked Marianne behind her.

"Yes, Miss, the Duke has been suffering from insomnia lately. Ever since you went out, he often stays in the study until dawn." Marianne followed Licia with her skirt and candles up.

"How did this happen?" Licia walked down the corridor more quietly. Although Mishuu hadn't slept yet, Licia didn't want her father to know that she was back.

In order not to be asked questions by him in the middle of the night.

"The master said that he wanted to live in another courtyard, saying that there were ghosts here that kept him from sleeping." Marianne followed Licia into her renovated room, and put the bag on the table. "Do you need me to help you wash up?"

Licia shook her head, wondering when Mi Xiu was so timid and afraid of ghosts.

"Thank you Marianne, I'll just wash myself." Licia said goodbye to Marianne, wondering if her father had done something wrong.

Generally speaking, those with the power of the heraldry are not afraid of any ghosts.

Licia took off the small cloth bag that she had been carrying close to her body. "Why is it a little hot?"

She rummaged in the cloth bag for a while, and took out the copper wand, which was hot and hot.

Licia held the wand, and from the tip of the wand floated the ghost of a woman. "There are really ghosts"

Although she couldn't see her face clearly, Licia felt that it should be a very beautiful woman.
