Wisps of steam drifted out from the warship in the sky, and the whistle that echoed through the sky was followed by the sailor's ultimatum.
"There are still 20 minutes until the boat sails. If you are not waiting for the boat, please hurry up!"
Wilson glanced at Iser beside him with his monocle.
"Don't take risks. I don't want to go to the cemetery with two bouquets of ethereal flowers when we meet again. That will make me look carefree."
Isel chuckled.
"Can you please put on your glasses? It's like saying goodbye for the last time. We are professors who are accomplices. I have no intention of dying before we achieve our goal."
After a pause, he tilted his head and glanced at Aldo and a kind of person who were following him. He pointed in the direction with his chin, letting Aldo lead everyone on the boat first.
Watching the retreating figure gradually put away his deliberate ease, as a hidden dark element gradually enveloped the two of them as they leaned against the wall behind them.
Iser asked
"Do you really not need manpower to go to the Kulico Forest? I still have some trustworthy manpower in the north of the kingdom, who might be able to help you."
"No need, I think you need that power more. The Kingdom of Tris is probably more dangerous now than before you left.
The latest news I got from the church just now is that your father, the king of the Kingdom of Tris, passed away just now. You should understand the problem. Maybe going back now is not a good choice because the risk is too high.
”
Iser frowned slightly.
"So it's really not a coincidence that Above the Thorns accepted an assignment a week before the disaster?"
Wilson sighed and continued.
"After all, I used the same method to send Kos away. In short, you must be careful. The royal family, nobles, and the demolition of the statue are probably involved in it. The church will probably protect you secretly, but it is definitely not possible.
Be optimistic."
Iser listened to the information given by Wilson, his eyes wandered, his brows furrowed and he considered it for a moment, then sighed, gently pushed the wall behind him, and stood up straight.
"Okay, I'll be careful. Speaking of which, you haven't told me what your purpose is in going to the Kulico Forest?"
"I've seen perfect elemental architecture there, I think we need more cards, don't we?"
"I understand, but don't force it. The forest is dangerous. If you really need help, go to the North County of the Kingdom. That is the hometown of Osman Eng, who is Teller's father. I think this matter and your position
, they have reasons to help you."
Wilson smiled reluctantly and gradually removed the [dark] element package.
"Okay..."
Iser took one last look at Wilson who had taken off his glasses and did not stay where he was. He waved his hand back and walked towards the steamship again facing the attention of the crowd.
.............
Inside the steam warship No. 07 of the Holy Theocracy.
Iser lay with his head buried on the small table and chair in the cabin. The bumpy and swaying sense of direction made him feel a little uncomfortable. He wanted to fall asleep but could not fall asleep peacefully until the knock on the door completely shattered his dream.
.
I straightened my hair and sat up straight.
"Please come in."
Aldo opened the door and stared at the visiting Vanderheiden, his eyes full of warning, and emphasized
"Vanderheiden, I hope you can remember what I said."
"Haha, of course."
Gently tapping the crutch in his hand, Vanderheiden closed the door with his backhand.
Iser looked at the visitor in front of him. He was a little surprised after all, this was not a ship heading to the empire, but he was too lazy to care about it. After all, he was not in any mood right now, and the only deep impression he had on the person in front of him was that he and Terrell were full of love.
He fell bloody in the forest, so Iser didn't intend to give him a good look.
With an indifferent expression, he sighed and looked helplessly at the sea outside the window.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Vanderheiden looked at Iser's condition and chuckled as he tapped the cane in his hand.
"Your guard has been warning me not to mention what happened at the light tower that day. I thought he was overthinking it. After all, you are considered the hero of the academy, but now it seems that I think too highly of you. You are not as good as Terrell
One ten thousandth of."
Iser’s eyes darkened and he didn’t care.
"If you are here to make fun of me, please come back."
The corners of Vanderheiden's eyes twitched slightly, and he swung the cane forward and hit Iser directly in the face, but Iser raised his hand to stop him.
"What do you mean."
Vanderheiden stopped talking nonsense, and an elemental communication poured directly into Iser's mind.
"I know that it was not you at the top of the light tower that day, but Teller. And the statue demolition probably also knew this. Don't be taken advantage of by the [Lover] sequence, and they probably know that the church is behind you." p>
After the information poured in, the elemental communication was cut off directly. He pulled out the crutch from Iser's hand and listened to the words from the stunned Iser.
"How did you know..."
"This is not a problem you need to worry about. I can only tell you that I am very grateful to Terrell. He saved me twice...no, it should be three times. Whether you believe it or not, I have no reason to lie to you.
That's all I have to say, I hope fate, this damn fate can bless you..."
As he spoke, he closed the door with the muffled sound on the bottom of the sea and the sudden slight vibration from the ship's hull, and gradually walked away amidst the bursts of broadcasts.
"The heretics have been executed and the ship is under martial law. Please give me a classmate and you can return to your cabin. Repeat it again..."
..................
On board the steam warship No. 09 of the Holy Theocracy.
Jennifer overturned the kerosene lamp to the ground with one sweep.
"Vasily! You just let the president go alone??? Why didn't you tell me!!"
Vasily smacked his lips and used the [Water] element to extinguish the flames under his feet, and said impatiently
"I'm just here to inform you, not to explain."
Jennifer's eyes gradually became fierce, and she walked directly forward and pointed at Vasily's nose.
"What did your team president say! Why are you so petty! I have already made it very clear why I stopped you from going to the forest. Don't you understand? Don't you care?"
Vasily raised his eyes and sighed, with an indifferent expression on his face, too lazy to hide anything.
"You really have no brain..."
"What did you say!"
"The president left you to protect you, don't you understand? Otherwise, you think I am willing to accompany you back to the empire? Don't you know his identity?! The church is already your backing, and you still want to solve the problem?
How complicated..."
"But...I..."
As she spoke, Jennifer also noticed something, but still couldn't control the strong fluctuations in her emotions at the moment. She wanted to say something but couldn't find anything to refute, until Vasily sighed and continued.
"....Don't be too sad. I believe the president will come back. It's just that he has no better choice now... When the time is right, he will come back."
.....................
"As expected of the people brought out by Wilson, apart from being a little stupid, they are also very courageous."
Coase was speechless.
"Captain Rocks, after all, I am also an assistant teacher in the academy..."
Everyone laughed, and then Rox realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"Ah...you know that's not what I meant, I meant...character! Yes! The character is too upright."
Kos sighed and said sarcastically
"I don't think the captain is qualified to criticize me."
"......"
While Rox was looking for an excuse, an intelligence officer wearing a black top hat walked down the stairs.
"I think now is not the time to quarrel. We received the light tower communication at 6:07:50 in the morning in November 237 a few days ago. The academy has successfully defeated the plastic demolition attack and has been demobilized. The chosen ones from all over the world have since
Accepted and cultivated by the local church, the fifth era officially began."
Kos's nose twitched slightly, a little unbelievable...
"How...is this possible?"
............
"Leyton, do you plan to return to the Holy Kingdom?"
