The female devils I saved came to my door

"What a shit."

A curse word interrupted Thalia.

At this time, Charles, whose eyes had completely changed, supported the dizzy Lovna, stood up slowly, and looked at the visitor in front of him: "I will not withdraw Sirna's portrait. Besides, you son of a bitch You idiot, you hurt my student, and you still dare to point fingers at me? Who raised you, a cowardly byd thing like you!"

Hilna was completely stunned. She had never thought that someone like Teacher Charles could get angry and curse.

"Sirna, pick up your sister and take her back to the house."

"Teacher Charles...didn't you say that you have to endure it when you should..."

"Go back to the house! Come on, don't make me say it a second time!" He glanced at Hilna: "Remember to lock the door."

"Yes……"

Helping her dizzy sister, Hilna lowered her head and returned to the house, locking the door.Lovna was not fully awake yet, still covering her head and moaning.

"I remember that you Paladins like to resolve conflicts through duels, right?"

As he spoke, Charles picked up the short knife that Lovna had thrown on the ground, pulled out the blade, and pointed it at Thalia, who was also ashen-faced: "I'll trouble this Mr. Perry and the priest to act as notaries. Anyway, I’m going to smash your teeth today.”

24. Monster

When Lovna, who was knocked unconscious, covered her head and woke up, Ciel, who was carrying a bunch of injuries, was sitting next to her bed.

Lovna was almost frightened by Ciel, whose face was covered with bruises and stab wounds. She didn't even recognize that this was her teacher at first sight.

"Are you awake?" Charles was applying an ice pack to his face. He asked tiredly, "You don't feel any tingling in your head? If you feel any discomfort, please tell me."

Lovna recalled the strong woman who knocked her out, and her eyes widened: "Teacher, that...that person who beat me, after she beat me, she attacked you again?!"

"After she injured you, I challenged her to a duel." Ciel said, taking out two bloody teeth from his pocket: "...the Paladin is indeed difficult to deal with, but I won. This It was the teeth I pried out of her mouth to vent your anger."

"These are...front teeth?!"

Lovna stretched out her hand dully and took the two front teeth handed over by the teacher.

The front teeth were simply cleaned with the snow outside the house, so they were still bloodshot.

One of the front teeth was still broken, which shows the intensity of the battle at that time.

Luovna was stunned.

She didn't know how to answer the call.

But at this time, her stomach growled first.

"Oh, that's right. You've been unconscious for a long time and haven't eaten for a long time... I originally made some soup for lunch, but I fought with that guy for too long, and the whole pot of soup has been burnt." Charles felt a little regretful. : "Right now, Hilna is simmering the soup again, and it will be ready later. If you are hungry, go get some dry bread mats first. Uh... Wait a minute, my neck hurts a little, and I have to go back and rest." "

"Teacher, are you... okay?"

"It should be fine. It's not a serious injury." Charles clicked his tongue: "I haven't fought in many years, so I'm a bit rusty. That's why I'm so embarrassed."

After saying that, he put down the ice pack, slowly got up and left his seat, and returned to his bedroom.

Lovna, who was still confused, stood up and held the two front teeth in her hand. She didn't know whether to throw them away or continue to hold them. She could only slowly put the two front teeth next to the bed.

The only person who could answer her question at the moment was Sirna who was busy in the kitchen.

"Are you awake?" Looking at her confused sister, Hilna sighed: "The teacher suffered a serious crime in order to find justice for you today. Why don't you thank the teacher?"

"What the hell happened?"

"The paladin named Talia slapped you and knocked you unconscious. Teacher Charles got angry. He asked the priest and the knight Perry to be notaries. Then, he took your short knife , just duel with that Thalia."

"Teacher wants to challenge the Paladin?"

"Yes." Hilna looked at her dumbfounded sister with some helplessness: "If you hadn't stood up at that time, there wouldn't have been so many things... The priest and that Perry kept trying to persuade the teacher to calm down, but Teacher Charles just cursed. Yes, I talked a lot about, uh... if you want to have an intimate relationship with Talia's mother, father and other immediate family members..."

"Teacher Charles, did you curse?"

"Yes..." Hilna also felt incredible: "I didn't expect Teacher Charles to have such a rich vocabulary of swear words - okay, don't interrupt - anyway, that Thalia was scolded by Teacher Charles. Suddenly, he became angry and accepted the duel challenge.

"Teacher Charles found an open space and started fighting with the woman. The woman named Thalia was a bear. She was wearing light armor under her monk's robe, and her weapon was stronger than your dagger. It can also release sword energy and thunder. To be honest, I was worried that Teacher Charles might be beaten to death.

"But Mr. Charles, he actually resisted two slashes. He seemed to be stronger than that woman. When he used your short knife to fight the woman, he also threw out a handful of peeled potatoes hidden in his sleeve. The knife cut the woman's neck.

"Then, while the woman was covering her neck, he kicked her in the... er... key part... and then when the woman was wailing, he knocked her over with a punch and picked up another piece. He hit her mouth with the stone many times until he knocked out the woman's front teeth. Then he pulled the knocked out teeth out of her mouth...

"That Perry felt that the teacher was attacking the loser, which violated the principle of fair duel, and wanted to stop him. But Teacher Charles didn't listen, and even beat that Perry. He really knocked over that Perry , and planned to kill him - I saw that the situation was about to get out of control, so I walked out of the door and cast a soul-killing spell on Teacher Charles, and Teacher Charles calmed down."

"Ah..." Lovna was silent for a while after hearing this: "Is the person you are talking about... really Teacher Charles?"

She really couldn't connect the guy described by Sirna with the always gentle teacher.

"I was also frightened. But I lay on the window and saw clearly. Teacher Charles really seemed to have changed."

As Sirna spoke, she sprinkled salt and pepper into the soup and continued: "The problem is not over yet. The two paladins were seriously injured and were temporarily taken by the priest to find a place to recuperate. The two of them, Maybe we’ll have to trouble Mr. Charles.”

"This, this is too, too..."

"Stop complaining. If you hadn't been so self-righteous and wanted to stand in front of the teacher as the teacher's bodyguard, and offended that woman named Talia, how could this have happened? The teacher suffered so many injuries... I could have been peaceful fixed……"

Hilna complained a little about her sister: "We will have dinner later. In front of the teacher, please don't talk nonsense."

Charles lay on the bed for a while, feeling better. She also smelled the spices and stew, and she felt a little stronger.

Today's fight reminded him of his wandering years before coming to Ipoli.

At that time, I almost had to risk my life every now and then, and my survival depended on my ability and luck.

It’s no longer possible now. I’ve enjoyed the good days a lot, and I’m really a little neglected in fighting.

Moreover, he still seemed unable to truly suppress his impulses.

No matter how well-educated he is on the surface, no matter how hard he tries to be a kind and gentle person, the violent and crazy side in his heart may still break through the constraints given a small opportunity.

It wasn't until Sirna knocked on the door cautiously and called him that he got out of bed and slowly moved to sit at the dining table.

The soup pot, butter, and sliced ​​bread were on the table, and the two girls took their seats.

However, in the past, the two girls would chat happily while eating, but today the room was completely silent.

Both girls were clearly a little reserved.

"Okay, don't be afraid..." Charles rubbed the still painful area on his head: "Today at noon, when I faced the two Paladins, I lost control. I may have scared you. Please don't Take it from the bottom of my heart. Sirna, thank you too. If you hadn't given me a requiem magic, I might have done something irreversible."

"It's okay, teacher." Hilna immediately agreed: "I was actually not frightened, just a little surprised. I didn't expect that the teacher would also have that kind of...extremely emotional and violent behavior."

"I was too impulsive at noon." He admitted frankly: "Before coming to Ipoli, I had some signs of losing control. In those days, I sometimes encountered some life threats.

"When I am about to be killed or seriously injured, I will become like this, executing enemies who intend to harm me like a madman. Until the crisis is resolved, I can slowly return to normal

"After settling in Ipoli, my life became much more peaceful. I thought this situation would never happen again, but I didn't expect that when the woman beat Lovna, I lost control in an instant."

Just like when he was a child, when he couldn't beat others and was bullied, he would imagine that he had a good buddy or a big brother to help him.

Over time, that powerful comrade in fantasy will actually fight with the help of his body.

Hilna understood: "Teacher, could this be some kind of mental trauma? Or a psychological self-protection mechanism under heavy pressure?"

"Maybe." Charles said with some worry: "But don't worry, as long as I am not strongly stimulated, I will still be a normal person. Moreover, your soul-soothing spell is quite useful. Thank you, otherwise I would say I might really kill those two paladins... If I show signs of losing control in the future, please help me, Sirna."

"Okay, Teacher Charles!" Hilna cheered up. She stood up and saluted the teacher: "I will definitely take good care of the teacher."

Lovna remained silent, looking at the bruises on Ciel's body, and then thought of those two front teeth.

Although I was very hungry, I still didn't eat much food.

After all, her teacher Ciel lost control because of her.

Those two paladins might come to settle a score with Ciel.

25. Friendly consultation

The two paladins did not go to the city to find a hotel, but stayed in a nearby church.

Although the injuries caused by Charles to them were very serious, the two of them used many life-saving measures and carried medicines prepared by the priests. After a day, their injuries were basically recovered.

Except for Thalia's front teeth, which won't grow back.

Perry twisted his neck, which was almost broken by Charles yesterday, and said to the priest: "Okay, you don't have to say anything else... Your friend named Charles is really ruthless. What did he do before?" of?"

The priest really didn't know. Yesterday, he was also frightened by Charles's fighting power: "I really didn't know that Mr. Charles would do that... He is usually very kind. This, alas... you two..."

"Just answer me honestly!" Thalia opened her leaky mouth and angrily scolded: "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Mr. Charles's identity is very mysterious. He only said that he was a child of an ordinary family. He didn't even have a surname. He traveled across half of the continent and settled in Ipoli. He learned some magic during the journey and was proficient in grammar and arithmetic. He He has been in Ipoli for almost nine years. He was probably just an adult when he first came, and he is now in his 20s. He worked as a church school teacher, and was later entrusted by Prince Nolen to be the caregiver of Miss Sirna. He earns money through various commissions, and he is a well-known good person. He has never done any bad things..."

"I know, you don't need to say it." Perry probably understood: "A teenager from a commoner background, with a high level of grammar education, can still cross half of the continent and come to Ipoli? Don't you think this rhetoric Is there a big problem?”

The priest smiled bitterly: "Everyone has also speculated that Mr. Charles came from a noble family that lost power and was exiled to Ipoli due to disaster. Or maybe he is the illegitimate son of a big noble? But he has always denied it."

Perry thought for a while, and he was a little annoyed.

That Ciel could withstand Talia's two slashes with elemental magic, and he still had the strength to fight with her.

Although his victory was due to a sneak attack, it was terrifying to be able to fight like this.

Perry still felt scared when he recalled the time when he grabbed his throat with his hands - that was probably the closest he came to death.

However, as a Paladin, it is really embarrassing to be beaten like this by an unknown guy due to carelessness: "Let's not talk about him for now... His student named Sirna, did he treat that Xia Xia during the day? You cast a soul-soothing spell? Is that a high-level numerology magic? How old is she?"

"She must have just turned 15, right?" The priest counted on his fingers: "I remember that it was her first birthday in the winter 14 years ago, and her parents took her to the church to be baptized that day."

"At the age of 15, you can cast high-level numerology magic?" Talia was also stunned: "Is this talent almost catching up with the geniuses in the seminary? Is there such a genius in Ipoli?"

Perry thought thoughtfully: "Not only was it the requiem spell, but when the little girl spoke to us during the day, I actually felt sympathy and pity... Looking back now, I'm afraid she may have mixed other thoughts into her words. Spells. This high-level numerology magic that Sirna has mastered is probably quite a lot.

"Furthermore, if it weren't for the soul-soothing spell she cast on Charles, that lunatic might have beaten us to death. To be reasonable, we all have to find Miss Sirna and ask about this matter. .If she is really young and has mastered so many high-level magic...

"Maybe we really met a saint."

The next day, in order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of being beaten yesterday, the two of them were fully prepared before slowly walking to the door of Charles's cabin.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Ciel polishing and enchanting an iron hammer and an iron axe.

The bruises and scars on his face have not faded away, and his temperament is somewhat gloomy, making him look scary.

"Hey." He had already anticipated the arrival of these two uninvited guests: "I knew you would come back. Are you here to arrest me? Don't worry, I have sent those two little girls back. If you want to fight, I will definitely resist arrest. , you can start directly.”

Thalia looked at the guy who provoked her, licked her gums that had lost her front teeth, and her anger surged up again.

Her pride as a paladin forced her to draw her sword and plan to avenge her shame.

But Perry stopped her.

He could see that Ciel in front of him actually had concerns, and that was his two students.

His provocative behavior seemed to be deliberately irritating the other party and diverting the other party's anger towards him, so that his two students would not be affected.

This shows that the other party should retain its sense and not be the mad dog state it was yesterday, and can negotiate.

"Mr. Charles, we can use force to solve the problem, but before that, I still hope to solve it as peacefully as possible." He said: "I can put down the weapon and go into the room to talk to you in detail. Don't worry, I won't hold a grudge. You almost killed me yesterday—as long as you don’t have any hostility toward me.”

As he spoke, he untied the sword from his waist, threw it on the snow, and raised his hands.

During a law enforcement patrol, it would be a shame for any knight to drop his weapons and raise his hands.

Therefore, this statement really touched Ciel.

He hesitated for a few seconds and dropped the hammer in his hand, but still held the ax tightly: "...If you are telling the truth, maybe we can talk."

After getting the promise, Perry nodded to Thalia, who was still hostile next to him, and motioned for her to move away.Then, Perry chose to walk into Ciel's house.

After passing through the courtyard filled with various vegetables and frozen meats, and pushing open the hard wooden door, Perry's eyes lit up with the scene inside the house.

It's not because the furnishings in this house are so luxurious, but because the layout is quite interesting.

The furniture makes clever use of all the space and is stacked quite compactly without looking crowded.

Various vivid portraits and paintings are painted on the walls. Small handicrafts and toy chess pieces carved in one's spare time are neatly placed on the window sill and desk, ready to be played with at any time.

The bookcases contain not only religious classics and magic books, but also many colorfully packaged fairy tale picture books.

This kind of arrangement specially made for the convenience of life is rare in the remote Hesende area.

After all, poor people don’t have the financial resources to buy so many things.The rich, especially those in remote areas, would buy luxurious and ostentatious furnishings and display them to visitors as if they were showing off.
