Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 96 96. Return
Lu Xingzhou was indeed difficult to dispatch, but Hayward's family still gave enough credit and dispatched a luxurious carriage with eight horses, accompanied by a whole team of guards.

Of course, there were two superintendents with powerful magic powers, and the guards were actually just a decoration, purely to show that the Harold family attached great importance to this runaway daughter.

Before departure, Hayward had been avoiding staring at the housekeeper who came to see him off. She had caused a lot of trouble to him when she ran away from home.

"My lord, please take care of our young lady. She has been difficult to discipline since she was a child..."

Halfway through the conversation between the housekeeper and Vice President Passy, ​​he couldn't help sobbing, and could only take out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears in embarrassment.

"Don't do this, okay!" Hayward was taken aback, and hurried up to push the old butler back, and then hurried the team out.

"Miss, you must write a letter to your family. Your father is angry on the surface, but he still misses you very much."

"I know, I know!"

Hayward's cheeks were flushed, and his eye sockets seemed to be redder as well. He stretched out a hand from the car window and waved it vigorously.

Although the girls in the same car had already known her true identity when they arrived, they still showed playful expressions.

In private, Katarina made up a lot of rumors with Hua Zheng and Emma, ​​all of which were interesting anecdotes about the wild lady of Harold's family.

Although most of them are embellished versions, since it can be used as a topic of conversation after dinner, it can be seen that Hayward was quite... lively when he was a noble lady at home.

Emma's heart was still very heavy, and the anecdote was not enough to cheer her up.When he closed his eyes, he saw Lawrence.

She had tried her best to avoid thinking about him, but it seemed that all her efforts had the opposite effect.

Gaius was left at Harold's house. After all, Turin College was a girls' school and could not take in this poor child.

Hayward assured him that he would be well fed and well educated as an adult.Harold's warlock will be responsible for rediscovering his magical talents.

As for whether to work in Harold's house or travel abroad when he grows up, or to stick to his belief in the Seven Gods and serve in a certain temple, these are all based on his own wishes.

……

All the way to the north, Emma saw Steep Horn Mountain again.Although it is just a distant view, every plant, tree, brick and tile on the top of the mountain is still vivid in my mind.

At this moment, a clear cry was heard, and the falcon that once belonged to Lawrence quickly approached and landed on the window sill of the carriage.

Emma took the courage to remove the letter box on its foot, and realized that it was from Cass, and it contained the echo of her letter to ask questions before leaving.

When the Silver Falcon Army arrived at the top of Doujiao Mountain, the temple had already seen the light of day, but most of it was burnt down, leaving only ruined walls.

Lawrence's body fell quietly at the gate of the temple. Under the ravages of the dragon's breath, the remaining wreckage was extremely limited, scattered in the wind on the top of the mountain, and his identity could only be barely judged by the holy sword held tightly in his hand.

Although both the hilt and the tsuba were melted to varying degrees, the body of the sword was tempered again in the dragon's breath, and the color turned into smoky gray, with mysterious patterns appearing on it.

As Lawrence's successor, Cass will accompany him on the battlefield after cleaning and assembling the sword.

Lawrence called this beloved sword "White Ibis", but now that it has been reborn, this beautiful name is no longer suitable, and it may only be renamed.So Lawrence left a little less trace in this world.

In addition to cruelly describing Lawrence's death according to Emma's request, Cass also informed her of the findings of the temple.

The deer boy and Qiangwei were naturally nowhere to be found, and even the imprisoned high priest did not leave a trace.A more optimistic guess is that Deer Boy took him away and continued to let him complete the unfinished and unknown secret work.

The entrance to the cave that Emma remembered was not found in the basement. The huge cave may actually exist inside the steep horn mountain, but the connected entrance must have been created by Deer Boy with magic, and it has disappeared without a trace after his departure.

Behind the temple, a huge tomb was found. It was a new tomb with a tombstone without words.A keel was dug out of it.

That should be the "child" that Lu Tong mentioned, who has not survived the reshaping of dark magic.This skeleton will be the greatest evidence against the Necromancer Mr. Oka.

Although the duke has ulterior motives, there is no need to worry about the safety of King Yirea.He had returned before Emma was out of danger, and he only notified everyone after boarding the spaceship.

This is actually very abnormal, because the carnival of the Nebbiolo Festival lasts for [-] days, and the disappearance of Ms. Ruiwen and Emma will not cancel or affect the mood.

It stands to reason that even if the king does not participate in the whole process, he should at least stay for three days before returning to the capital.

Judging from Lawrence's mission, King Yirea had already been wary of the Duke.The late arrival of the celebration dinner and the reluctance to stay in the Southern Islands for too long, these behaviors also became reasonable under such a premise.

Emma asked the two abbots if war would break out soon.But even the two well-informed witches couldn't give an answer.

The struggle for power, in the final analysis, is still about people.King Ireya and Duke Gewes each have a city, and their game determines the fate of the Duma continent.

Maybe it was a long period of secret checks and balances, or maybe it was an order to meet each other.

However, since the duke has already gained the support of the dark magic controller, King Yirea will most likely take thunderous measures to extinguish the flames of his rebellion in time.

Once the war started, the four major academies should all cut off contact with the outside world, take a neutral attitude and wait and see, and reopen the courtyards after all the dust settles.This is also a tradition inherited from the turbulent era, sheltering the power that has not yet grown up, and leaving a kindling for the future of magic.

"What's in the letter? Any news from Ms. Raven?"

At first, Hayward wanted to read the letter with Emma, ​​but was brutally pulled away by Vice President Passy.At this moment, she couldn't hold back her curiosity, so she could only pretend not to notice the warning gaze, and asked Emma directly.

"No, Cass just...condolences."

"Let me just say that he treats you unusually!"

Katarina blurted out triumphantly, but after she finished speaking, she felt that it was extremely inappropriate, after all, Vice President Passy was at the side, so she turned her head and pretended to enjoy the scenery.

"Oh, isn't that the Temple of Doujiao Mountain? Why did it appear again!"

The topic she used to divert her attention was very bad, and Emma's heart tensed, but it still attracted the attention of Hayward and Huazheng.

"Hey, what a magnificent building! It must have been temporarily hidden by someone with powerful mana."

"Why do I feel that it looks a bit tattered..."

Emma had no intention of participating in their discussion, so she cast a spell silently, burned the letter paper in her hand to ashes, and threw it out of the car window.

Falcon was still standing aside, obediently waiting for Emma to give it a reply letter.Although it is a bird of prey, it starts to feel a little cute after seeing it a few times.

Emma touched its head and tied the empty tube back.

"Go, I have nothing to say to him for the time being."
