The female devils I saved came to my door

The teacher is gone and probably won't come back for a long time.

She is the only one here now.

She thought for a while, then gently opened Charles's wardrobe, put on his thick cotton coat, sat on the seat where only her teachers usually sat, covered her face with her sleeves, and took a deep breath.

The familiar smell made her feel better.

But Lovna still felt lonely and lost.

She felt that Sirna had taken away her lover.

31. Go to the Holy City

"I can actually sense her affection for me, but I don't want to admit it."

Charles smiled bitterly and said: "After all, I always feel that they are still children and have not grown up yet. I think those feelings will fade over time. After all, I am eleven or twelve years older than Lovna and Sirna. I He is one of their teachers, or an elder brother, or even a father."

He underestimated his importance to Lovna, and he did not expect Sirna's little thoughts.

The worst thing is that he himself has entered the blind spot of thinking under the deliberate verbal guidance of the system and made a misjudgment. Only then did he choose the destined option and step by step towards the guided future.

"Let's not talk about Lovna for now... Anyway, that day, I drove the carriage and set off with Hilna.

"The Paladins Perry and Thalia escorted us all the way through the swamps and forests. It took us a week or two to walk through the rough and difficult road. After passing through several countries, they came to us When they arrived at the border of the Great Hessend region, they separated from us and went back to continue the tasks assigned to them by the Holy See.

"I took Hilna with me and relied on the guidance certificate issued by the Paladin. We successfully crossed the border of the Principality of Beztan and stayed in a tourist city with a beautiful large fountain in the center.

"Beztan is much richer than the Greater Hessend region. The wide plains are dotted with windmills and pastures. The size of the city is certainly much larger than the settlements of only a few thousand people in Ipoli.

"That was the first time that Sirna went on such a far journey. It was also the first time that she saw a truly large city with a population of over [-].

"After a brief surprise, she became even more excited. She took me around the city for a long time, painting and sketching by the fountain, listening to choirs reciting hymns in the city square, and eating local snacks in restaurants. , learning dance with local couples wandering around...

“Originally, I brought a lot of money with me, thinking that this trip might cost a lot, and I might have to work for others, but the result was completely the opposite.

"Sirna's strong affinity is revealed. Everywhere she goes, she can win everyone's favor and respect with her smile and gentle words:

"Pedestrians passing by would stop and watch in front of her sketches; children in the choir would surround her and invite her to sing together; the owner and his wife of the restaurant would give her free food and look forward to her praise...

"We only stayed in that city for two days, but when we left, hundreds of people came to see Sirna off. Everyone said, 'That beautiful girl with blue hair was the most angelic thing they had ever seen. people'.

“This really surprised me.

"During the subsequent journey, there were countless similar things. Every town she visited, Sirna was able to use her personality charm and the numerology magic I taught to quickly win the favor of the people around her.

"We even got the local bishop to stay - those clergy stubbornly believed that the existence of Sirna can bring joy and happiness to their city and make people pious and good. She must be a divine messenger sent by the Eternal Heavenly Father. .

“I had to work hard to convince them to let us go.

"The more people she meets, the more comfortable she becomes in interpersonal communication. I am also more convinced that she has the ability and dignity to become a queen.

"When we arrived at the port of the Republic of Welland, two and a half months had passed since our journey. I wrote down what I saw along the way as promised, and at the local cathedral, I paid some extra money to ask the person The priest who was responsible for distributing the letters sent the letters to Ipoly as soon as possible, to the red-haired girl who lived in the hut by the river.

"Immediately afterwards, we took the ferry belonging to the church, crossed the Organ Sea, skirted the Longhorn Peninsula, and traveled along the coast of the peninsula. The journey was calm and the sea was calm, and we did not encounter any danger.

"Because it is a ferry under the jurisdiction of the church, there are no rude sailors on board, and most of the passengers are wealthy businessmen and nobles with considerable savings.

"Most of them went to the great Glory City to pay homage to the Pope, and some of them brought their children with them, hoping to be recognized by the church and enroll in the ancient and solemn Holy Academy.

"I was like a frightened parent, anxiously and anxiously communicating with other passengers, asking about the things to note before enrolling in the church, the qualifications required to enter Glory City, and how to earn money to support myself after moving in... for fear of my negligence. And delay Sirna's future.

“But after those passengers saw Sirna, they all said: Don’t worry, this child will definitely be recognized by the church.

“Finally, our ship docked at Saints Port, which is less than a few dozen miles away from Glory City, and this trip is finally reaching its end.

"After landing, not long after I checked into the hotel near the port, a paladin actually found us based on the hotel list - paladin Perry from Great Hessende, informed the Holy See in advance via remote transmission, asking them to pay attention. 'A girl named Shirna and her teacher'.

"After briefly testing Sirna's magic talent and letting her cast several high-level magics, the knights who came to greet her were completely shocked.

“So, Sirna was directly escorted into Glory City.

"I didn't even have a chance to look up at the city's magnificent ancient walls, nor did I have a chance to step onto the streets where the saints once walked. So, together with Hilna, we were driven into the Glorious Church in Glory City by a speeding carriage.

“The person who officially welcomed us was actually a cardinal with a high status.

"She was very cautious and brought Sirna to a simple preaching hall. After a eulogy, she caused the stars in the sky to shine their light on Sirna.

"After carefully observing it for a while, the bishop cheered uncontrollably and claimed that she wanted to inform everyone of the good news - she said that this was a talent that only angels could possess, and that Sirna was a gift from the gods.

"Then, there were cheers, music, footsteps, praises, prayers... it was too noisy, and it took too long. I don't remember the specific situation now. I just felt that I was very irritable at that time... …

"In short, Hilna immediately became a popular figure in the church.

"At that time, the church divided students into three categories. The first category was those with some basic magic talents and average backgrounds; the second category was those with good backgrounds but unsatisfactory talents; the third category was those with outstanding talents and deserved key training. The third category were the real ones. The young elites of the Holy See can even have any clergy below the Pope as their mentor and follow them to further their studies.

"Sirna is undoubtedly the third category, and the most talented person in the third category. Therefore, many archbishops and cardinals are vying to be Sirna's mentor.

"Silna and I are not fools, and we have not been fooled by those rhetoric. We have all seen the greedy vision of those high-sounding big shots - they hope to win over Sirna, and hope to take this promising girl as their apprentice. Cultivate your own party members.

"Her outstanding talent will indeed attract some unnecessary covetousness before she grows up.

“Moreover, I can feel that there are also some eyes of resentment and jealousy focused on Sirna.

"Children of the same age as Hilna and the students in the seminary are quite disgusted with this girl who shocked the church as soon as she appeared.

"I regretted it a little at the time - maybe it was a wrong decision to bring Hilna, who was still underage, to Glory City. Seedlings can't get sunlight in a forest already full of giant trees, so they have to Sirna was exposed to hostility.

"The bishops saw that I was Sirna's important guardian, so they all started thinking about me. They threatened me with all kinds of threats, inducements, and good words. They asked me to make a decision for Sirna."

That was a very bad memory.

Wearing gorgeous robes, wearing various crowns, and holding treasured staffs, the powerful leaders of the church surrounded Charles, a penniless mortal. They thought they had given him enough face and questioned him one after another:

"You have to make wise decisions for your child", "Don't ruin her future because of short-sightedness and stupidity", "You are just a person with average talent, it's good that you didn't teach her bad things"...

Those words gave him a headache.

His depressed and violent nature almost broke out.

But in the end, in that noisy hall, there finally came an authority who could make the final decision, a strong man who could make everyone shut up.

After he entered, the whole place was silent.

That man was wearing heavy armor.The huge and exaggerated shoulder armor was painted with gorgeous sacred runes, the golden iron chains wrapped around the arms and waist made a clattering sound, and the heavy iron boots stepped on the ground, as if they could break solid masonry.

He only showed his head covered with gray beard and gray temples, and wore a rather simple black iron crown. It was obvious that he was a rather old warrior.

With his armor on, he was half a head taller than Ciel.

After looking left and right in the room for a while, he did not look at the dazzling girl in the center of the hall like the others, but looked at the somewhat irritable Ciel.

He walked up to Charles with square steps and asked: "You are Mr. Charles, right?"

He actually used honorifics to Ciel, which made the people behind him even more surprised and surprised.

"Yes, may I ask if you are..."

"I am Ether Munro" he introduced himself: "If you trust me, I am willing to be Miss Hilna's mentor. Of course, I am also willing to be your mentor."

"Are you Ether Monroe?!"

"Yeah, I think we can all learn something from each other."

The prim and solemn old gentleman turned back and looked at the silent bishops behind him: "Do you have any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads silently, indicating that they had no objection.

"What about you? Mr. Charles? If you think I can take on this responsibility, please give me a reply."

"I... have no objection."

Sirna also replied: "I listen to Teacher Charles."

Therefore, His Excellency Ether Monroe, who was revered as the number one swordsman in the mainland and the Holy Guard of the Holy See, became Sirna's mentor.

and Charles' future father-in-law.

32.Legendary Juggernaut

Charles has actually heard of Lord Monroe's reputation.

In fact, in the entire Western Continent, any child over the age of three should know this Sword Master of the Holy See.

When Lord Monroe was awarded the title of Sword Master, Sirna's grandfather was not even born yet.

His official position is just as the defense chief of Glory City, which is equivalent to an ordinary bishop. He is responsible for the deployment of the papal guards and paladins in the city.

But in fact, he is a super old monster who has lived for more than 300 years, participated in two Eastern Crusades organized by the Holy See, thirteen wars of succession, 28 heresy crusade, and killed hundreds of demons - oh, During his Eastern Expedition, he single-handedly killed two adult dragons.

It can be said that this almost mythical record makes him the absolute pillar of force of the Holy See and the unquestionable ceiling of single combat power in the mainland.

Even the many fairy tales and picture books compiled by Charles refer to the deeds of the man in front of him.

According to common sense, this old gentleman who can already be regarded as a legend has rarely been involved in affairs as early as decades ago.

He even holds a nominal position, and only comes out one or two months every year to train newly recruited knights and bodyguards, giving those newcomers a little bit of a sword master shock.

But his qualifications and longevity are here after all.

Since angels no longer come to earth and the clergy of the Eternal Church can no longer live longer than two hundred years, all clergy in the church, whether they are archbishops, cardinals, or anyone else, dare not interact with this person. A legend who is still alive and kicking today contradicts him.

This time he came out to take care of things, and even named him as the mentor of Sirna and Ciel, which really exceeded everyone's expectations - no one expected that this big boss would also come out to fight for power.

But there was no other way. The other dissatisfied bishops could only put on fake smiles and congratulate Lord Monroe on gaining a talented apprentice, and also congratulate Sirna on being appreciated by this big shot.

From that day on, Hilna became the responsible student of Monroe.

By the way, Charles also became Monroe's nominal apprentice.

"Wow! Teacher Charles, from now on we are all disciples of Mr. Monroe. He is the real Master Sword Master! Then are we considered students of the same sect?"

Charles didn't care much about the issue of seniority: "Let's forget it. If you like, you can call me by my name in the future. Anyway, I have nothing to teach you now."

"Great!" Hilna smiled happily, but added: "Don't worry, Teacher Charles, you will still be my teacher in the future."

Both of them also took up residence in this glorious and glorious land.

Rongguang City is divided into an inner city and an outer city.

The inner city is the Glow Church and the preaching square in front of the church, which is very small.The outer city, in addition to a large number of saint sculptures, ancient temples, seminaries, large museums and other sacred monuments with a long history, is the residence of clergy and nobles.

As the religious center of the mainland, land in Glory City is extremely expensive. It is no exaggeration to say that every residence here is priceless.The layout here has not changed at all since thousands of years ago.Just moving a few bricks and stones at will can be regarded as blasphemy against the miracle.

After all, this is the first land that the legendary [Eternal Heavenly Father] set foot on after taking human form and leading the angels to come to the world.It is also the place where, according to legend, the first saint ascended to the Kingdom of God under the guidance of an angel.

But Lord Monroe had a very high status and had several secluded and spacious residences in the outer city.

He even directly set aside a building for Ciel and Sirna to live in.

This house is said to have been lived in by a certain pope during his training in the seminary. Later, it was awarded to Monroe for his military exploits.

At this moment, the nameplate of this mansion, which can be regarded as a historical relic, has been changed to "Shire" so that the two of them can stay temporarily again and avoid the endless harassment from other powerful figures.

"You just stay here and wait for a month. After the seminary officially opens, Hilna can enroll and start studying. I will come to you at that time, don't worry. There is everything here, and I have already given the name of the head of the household. It’s changed to you, you are the head of the household in this mansion, if you need anything, just talk to the servants in your mansion.”

After giving the instructions, he left.

In this way, the confused Charles and Hilna were gifted a house that could be regarded as a historical monument.

Although this mansion is not big, it is very well decorated. Each room is decorated with various weapons such as swords and shields.

Dense magic runes are drawn on the walls and ceilings of all rooms.

The holy emblem of the Eternal Church is also displayed on the bedside of the bedroom, at the entrance to the main hall, on the kitchen window sill and even on the bathroom sink.

The maids in the mansion are not as tall and fierce as the Iberian peasant women. They are all professional servants who have received etiquette training since childhood, with dignified faces and elegant manners.

The wardrobe was already filled with all kinds of clothes suitable for girls: those exquisite satin clothes were an eye-opener for Hilna. Even as a beloved princess, she had never owned so many gorgeous and luxurious clothes.After all, how could a remote village like Ipoli be compared with Glory City, which had accumulated a huge amount of wealth.

But when Charles touched these brocades, he could feel that these were not new clothes, but old clothes that had not been worn for a long time after being purchased, and they were all cut according to someone's figure.

The original owner of these clothes should be thinner, and for Sirna, they are not particularly close-fitting.

But no matter what, they settled in like precious animals placed in a zoo.

For a period of time after that, Charles and Hilna had no worries about eating and drinking, and every time they were on time, they could get meals carefully prepared by the maids.If you need anything, just say hello and someone will deliver it to you.Traveling is also very convenient, and they can roam around this classical and sacred city every day.

But I never saw Lord Monroe again.

Therefore, Ciel couldn't understand the reason for all this.
