The female devils I saved came to my door

He knew that Sirna was very talented, but he didn't expect that she would be so ridiculously strong.

The head nun even said that she could take time out to teach Hilna every week.

Of course, no matter how talented Sirna is, Ciel himself must be classified into the first category, and he is aware of this.

Originally, he thought that as a guy in his late twenties and early thirties, he would be considered an old guy in the college and might be rejected by the younger students. He was mentally prepared for this - who knows, when he meets him Other similar students realized that they were completely over-worrying.

The vast majority of students were in their 30s, and there were also some in their 45s and 70s. There was even an old man in his [-]s with a gray beard. When he saw Charles, he greeted him energetically and asked him to take care of him in the future.

Charles is actually one of the youngest students in the first category.

Everyone here is a roll king who has done more rolls than Charles.

Some of them worked hard for loyal princes, went through life and death, and received awards. Only then did they get letters of recommendation to study in Rongguang City;

There are those who have worked hard and uncomplainingly in local churches for decades before they were recommended by everyone and had a place to study in the church;

There are those who borrowed money from everywhere, used connections to find people, and passed the Vatican's numerous assessments and selections just to enter the seminary and change their lives...

Most of them are small and medium-sized nobles and clergy from the prosperous areas in the central part of the continent. They have some knowledge, savings and status, and also have magical talents. In order to go further, for a better life, and to change their own lives, they have overcome obstacles all the way, and only then have they won. This opportunity for further study.

Therefore, when they get a place to study in the seminary, they are often quite young.

They also have to pay a high "study donation" (because the Holy See cannot charge believers fees according to the precepts, so it has to be called a voluntary donation) to the seminary, so that they can rent in deliberately dilapidated and crude student dormitories. Eat canteen dishes that are always fasting and do not contain meat or fishy food.

Only after persisting for two or three years can one be considered academically successful and obtain graduation qualifications.

As for Charles, just because his student Sirna was very talented, he obtained Lord Monroe's permission and got the opportunity to attend the seminary.

Normally, he and Hilna lived in a spacious house donated by Lord Sword Master, and they could enjoy various delicacies directly in the mansion, completely ignoring all the cumbersome fasting rules.

Proper relationship.

It really makes everyone envious.

This kind of treatment, even after a long time, made Ciel feel a little deserved:

"I thought at the time: Sure enough, the Heavenly Father of this world is really an unfair guy. Even if he randomly gives people magical talents and seemingly imparts grace to people impartially, some superiors can still rely on their own resources, turning the grace of the gods into a tool for maintaining governance.

“Sometimes, the opportunity that someone else is working so hard for, another person can just get it like pie in the sky.

“I am considered the luckiest among this group of people, but compared with those second-category students who are born with noble status and are extremely pampered by their parents, I am a penniless wretch.

"However, when I think about it again: Compared with those tenant farmers, homesteaders, and poor citizens who have worked hard all their lives and have no connection with magic, our students in the seminary, no matter who they are, can be regarded as unattainable in the sky. People.

"Thinking of this, I cheered up - I can't regret myself, I still have to seize this opportunity.

"After all, I want to help that child, Sirna, become the queen.

"I thought at the time: Maybe the female pope can also be considered a queen? If the empire is defined by the scope of religious influence, maybe it counts? Maybe Sirna will become the greatest pope? If I also succeed in my studies, say Maybe it can be a help for this child in the future?

"Maybe I've come to the right place in Glory City. Even if the Master Sword Master wants to beg me and use me, that's fine.

"I have taken enough advantage, and I have to do my best for Sirna's future."

After all, when a child has taken up so much of his life and invested so much of his energy, she has become a part of his life and is worth his while.

As for Munro, he had been paying close attention to Charles silently.

35. A dull study life on the surface

Ether Munro.

This man has always been very mysterious.

No one can tell clearly what the rise of this sword master is.

Everyone knew that he remained unmarried and childless for hundreds of years.

Because his character is that of an absolutely calm, reliable, ruthless and desireless warrior, a saint who wants to dedicate everything to the Holy See and has no time to waste on romance.

Some people say that he is the son of a noble whose family fell into decline hundreds of years ago. In order to avoid disaster, he chose to embrace the gods, converted to the Eternal Holy See, and started his own path to becoming a god.

Some people say that he is a disciple of an ancient hero. He underwent the most severe trials and tests before finally gaining recognition and becoming the great swordsman who fought for the Holy See throughout his life.

Others say that he is an archangel who was reincarnated as a human being under the instructions of the Heavenly Father. He is responsible for cleansing sins and eradicating all heresies, and vows to cleanse the world before his soul returns to heaven.

However, no matter what the reason is, it is somewhat exaggerated.

After actually dealing with this sword master, everyone can see that he is not that cold, deep, cruel and ruthless war machine.

He is a polite old man, but because he always wears armor, is too tall, and is not very good at expressing emotions, he always gives people a sense of inaccessibility and unattainable oppression.

After starting the study life in the seminary, in addition to the routine ancient history, classical elegant language learning, eternal theology, introduction to the four major categories of basic magic, alchemy, healing spells and other courses, there are also many physical classes such as swordsmanship, equestrianism, and fighting.

Mr. Monroe, very rarely, served as the resident teacher of the swordsmanship class this year.

This made all the students inexplicably excited - if they could write on their resume, "While studying at the Vatican Theological Seminary, I received swordsmanship training from Lord Ether Monroe," it would be even more dazzling than Jin's signature.

At that time, Lord Monroe had already taken great care of Ciel - among the hundreds of students who loved him enthusiastically, he would always point Ciel forward to pick up the wooden sword and spar with him.

Until a thousand years later, Charles still remembered Munro's mysterious and exquisite swordsmanship, and the power of each slash, thrust, and sweep.

Even the simplest wooden sword, when held tightly by the sword master, will shine like a magical weapon blessed by the mage.

"In the past, I only knew how to use brute strength and agility to make up for the shortcomings in my moves. I did not receive any systematic swordsmanship training. Facing ordinary enemies, I could still rely on my bravery to make up for it, but in front of this sword master, I really showed my true colors.

"He was able to lecture the students and drink water while easily knocking the wooden sword out of my hand in three moves. He could use the tip of the sword to accurately hit my wrists, elbows and knees, and within three seconds, Put me down.

All his movements were perfect, without any flaws.

"At the end of each fight, he would tell me carefully how to improve my offensive attack, and he would praise me for my good performance."

This is also a quite strange place.

The course that Munro was in charge of was not suitable for Sirna, but was very specific to Ciel's needs - a wild man like him, who had average magic talent but was very good at fighting, needed this kind of professional swordsmanship training.

Moreover, in every class, Ciel was the only lucky person who got personal advice from the sword master.

As for Hilna, the high-level magic teaching she needs is handled by several experienced holy nuns, and Monroe himself actually has little involvement.

He was just using his authority and status to help Sirna block unnecessary troubles, and that was enough.

It seems that Ether Munro is not Sirna's mentor, but only Ciel's mentor.

At other times, Charles would take some history courses, classical Chinese courses, and theology courses to earn some credits.

He also met several classmates who were much older than him in school - these brothers and sisters were in a similar situation to him. They had average magic talents and could only study practical basic spells, combat skills and martial arts.

After all, most of them aim to gain the opportunity to be promoted to paladins and papal guards in the future.

Everyone knows what their talents are, so naturally they don't expect to become advanced mage.

These classmates also made predictions about Ciel's future: according to the importance that Lord Monroe places on him and the attention that Hilna's child receives, Ciel will definitely benefit from it.

There is a high probability that after completing his training, he will be directly assigned by the Holy See to the Pope's Guards and serve as a certain squad leader, and then slowly accumulate merit and qualifications.

If Sirna is assigned to serve as a district bishop after graduation, he, as her guardian, will most likely be assigned as her attendant knight, and will also serve as the local supreme commander of the church's armed forces.

If Sirna really becomes an archbishop or a cardinal in the end, then he can go a step further and directly serve as a Grand Knight in the Holy See, or even obtain a fief from the Holy See and become a noble class in Glory City.

"Charles, maybe you will be able to obtain a lot of titles and titles before you are 40 years old." When they said this, the slight sour taste mixed with congratulations could not be concealed.

But compared to this glorious future, Ciel was more concerned about another issue.

"Is it possible that I will be sent to the Greater Hessend area? Is it possible that Hilna will be sent there to serve as a local bishop? Can the seminary take a year-long leave so that I can temporarily interrupt my studies and return to the Greater Hessend? ?”

"Daheisende?" The other students were stunned: "What are you going to do back there? It's shabby and poor there. And it's so far there. It takes more than half a year to come back. Do you have so much time?" "

Ciel: "After all, that is Sirna's home, and Sirna's sister is also my student. I promised the child without magic talent that I would go back to visit her within two years. The residents there also need I help."

"Char, don't be so pretentious. You stay in the Holy See and wait until you get rich. Then you can take your princess back to your hometown for a stroll, and bring your close family and friends to Glory City to enjoy the blessings. If you go back within two years, your studies will be over. What should you do? Going back in such a hurry and then wasting a whole year traveling back and forth will definitely make the college dissatisfied even if Lord Monroe is protecting you."

Charles: "But I promised her after all."

"Explain it to her clearly and ask her to wait patiently for a few years, isn't it? If your student is sensible, he will definitely understand you."

Charles’s classmates gave sincere advice: “Great Blacksend, that place is so remote and barren, full of small and poor countries, and the climate is cold and wet. The churches in each place are basically responsible for their own profits and losses, and their lives are very difficult. If you can't survive, there is no future. Performing tasks there is like being assigned. If you care about your student, you should work harder to improve and then bring her out."

Ciel also understood that these people's suggestions made sense.

If he manages well and establishes a foothold in the Holy City, he can let Lovna take her mother to live in a good place like Glory City.Even if you can't live in Glory City, you can buy a house in a suburban farm outside the city, or near Port Saints, and your life will be much better than in Ipoli.

However, he knew very well that the child Lovna was waiting for the letter he sent every day.

Every night, she would look at his sketches of the church, streets, gate towers, and preaching halls of Glory City, read his description of his study experience, imagine everything that Charles had experienced, and imagine that she could also accompany him. Living with him in this city...I couldn't fall asleep until late at night.

She was counting the days on her fingers, waiting for him, Teacher Charles, to come back and see her.

The child saved a lot of money, and even went to the church headquarters in the Greater Hessend region. She used these savings to send some express magic letters, reporting to Charles what she had done in the Ipoli region during the past six months or so. as.

In the letter, she said that she has now moved into Charles's house and cleans the house every day. She has organized all of Charles's books and toys very well.

Although she does not know magic, she also works hard to use the knowledge taught to her by Teacher Charles, helping people write documents, select wheat seeds, and preside over decisions...

Although she is young and does not have as much magical talent and wisdom as her sister, seeing that she is a student of Shire and works so hard, the residents of Ipoli also think that she has done her best.

She was looking forward to Ciel returning to Ipoli, seeing what she had done, and then patting her head and praising her.

Just like praising Sirna in the past.

So, how could he have the nerve to tell Lovna to let her wait a few more years.

36. Ether Munro’s request

This day is like always.

Glory City has entered the slightly cooler autumn.

Charles's day at the seminary was over.

I briefly practiced the sword moves taught by Lord Monroe today with a few classmates, compiled some notes and teaching materials, and then said goodbye to my classmates.

Hilna also completed the private lessons of the Holy Sister. She wore the exquisite wide-sleeved high-collar monk's robe specially made for her. Her long smooth blue hair hung down behind her, swaying gently with her steps.

The youthful and beautiful girl's figure is even more vividly highlighted under this gorgeous and close-fitting robe.

Humming the melody of sacred music, Sirna walked out of the classroom, ignoring the complicated looks of other students beside her, and jumped to Ciel's side.

After Charles helped her pick up the textbooks, they left the campus together and took the carriage that Monroe lent them, letting the driver take them to a comfortable and spacious residence instead of a crowded and cramped seminary dormitory.

In the car, Sirna excitedly showed Charles her latest mastery of netherworld magic - while chanting the incantation, a strange-looking netherworld creature appeared in her hand, a cat with bat wings. Head villain.

The little man was beating back and forth in the girl's palm and barking at Charles.

Sirna said excitedly that this wise messenger came from the underworld.The Holy See uses these ghostly creatures to deliver express letters.

This made Charles quite excited: "So, from now on, we can deliver letters to your parents and Lovna without spending money at the church?"

Hearing this, Hilna smiled and said nothing.

After returning to the residence, the maid had set up outdoor seats in the courtyard and served a dinner made of seafood caught near the Port of Saints.

It's the fasting period recently, and you can't drink alcohol or eat land meat, so for dinner, there are two pan-fried sea fish seasoned with various spices, a plate of shrimp soup, a vegetable risotto, and various dairy products. , as well as non-alcoholic sweet drinks.

A hearty meal that perfectly meets the requirements of fasting is put on the table.

The recent physical training has become more and more intense, so Ciel's appetite has become larger and larger, and he has to eat several extra pieces of bread to barely fill his stomach.

Hilna, on the other hand, tasted all the delicacies and kept smiling as she watched Charles across the table enjoy his meal. She did not get up and leave the table until he was full.

In the evening, Sirna had to review the various high-level spells she had learned today, and often had to study until late at night before falling asleep.

The mechanisms and mysteries of these magics have exceeded Ciel's knowledge of magic, and he can no longer instruct this girl.

Looking at the breezy courtyard, he remembered that he hadn't written to Lovna for a week.

He had to think carefully about what was worth talking about recently that would make the girl far away happy after seeing it.

Moreover, after careful consideration, he felt that as a teacher, he still had to do what he promised her.

I still have to go back to Ipoli to visit her in two years.

Maybe I can use Lord Monroe's connections to ask him to give me a leave of absence from school, take a year's leave, go back and bring Lovena with me, and see if I can rent a house in Saints Harbor, west of Glory City. , let her live here and have the opportunity to see the world.

Thinking of this, he took some sketch paper and colored pens and started drawing on the drawing board.

He spent a total of four or five simply colored sketches, some of which were the church of the seminary, some of the seminary monks wielding swords in the open space, and some of the tall armored swordsman - Monroe.

Next to each painting, he wrote a few simple introductions: This is what the saints call the holy church, which is actually very small and narrow; the swordsmen in this painting are my classmates, and they are very friendly. But they are all very tired from living; this tall armored warrior is the sword master, his swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, and I still can't see his slashes clearly...

But when it came to drawing the last painting of the Juggernaut, Ciel was never satisfied.
