Chapter 32

The whole Cerancha is shrouded in a sea of ​​music and joy.

The walls of this seaside city are all made of white rocks. When the lighting equipment of the whole city is turned on, the colorful brilliance makes this white city as dazzling as a diamond by the sea.

But in this beautiful diamond, evil still happens every day.

In the dilapidated and dark alley, Athos walked out of the low and dark 'house' behind him.

This is the southern part of the entire Seranga, adjacent to the freight terminal, and is home to the most barren population in the entire Seranga.

Porters, porters, warblers, beggars, thieves, gangsters...

Even the most sophisticated policeman has to be careful here, because everyone he encounters may be outlaws.

The slum is not run by any one police department, but is run by each police department on a 'fair' basis for a month.

No one cares about the lives of the people who live here, as long as they don't make a big mess.

Athos was a little surprised when he was stopped by a young girl while patrolling the slum, crying and asking him for help.

Because for those who live here, there is no difference between death and life, and often the dead are thrown directly into the sea and buried by nature.

Athos once lived in the Southern District, and he knew that the people here regarded the police as monstrous beasts, and the deceased must be an important person who could come to report the crime.

So when he saw the shivering girl, he immediately followed him.

After examining the corpse, which was tightly wrapped in tattered cloth, Athos walked out of the low and old house.

"Officer," the scantily clad girl trembled, the thick makeup on her face was washed away by tears, "Is there any help?"

Athos shook his head sadly, and cried as he saw the girl in front of him almost collapsed.

He felt infinite pity, waited patiently until the girl calmed down a little, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, but I want to ask you something."

The girl has calmed down a bit: "Ask what?"

"How long has it been since you found out?" Athos asked simply.

"I don't know... I forgot, I saw her down in blood when I came back... I couldn't wake her up, and I couldn't stop the bleeding with a cloth. I ran out to see you..." The girl said blankly, "I did not expect……"

"Did you see anything suspicious when you came back?" Athos asked.

"No... it's the same as before."

After Athos asked a few questions, he didn't get any answers. He promised to help the girl to continue the investigation. Before Athos was about to leave, he heard a word from her.

"But... a lot of people have died here recently." The girl murmured.

"A lot?" Athos caught this keenly. "Who else?"

"Well, several people died before." The girl recalled, "Five? Or six?"

Why didn't you call the police?

Athos wanted to ask this sentence, but when he met the girl's numb eyes, he suddenly couldn't ask anything.

On the way home from the police station, Athos was in a heavy heart.

He wanted to do something, but found he couldn't.

After wandering outside the door for a while, Athos adjusted his mood and opened the door with a smile on his face: "I'm back."

"Welcome~ welcome~ come back~ come~"

Along with the cheerful shouting, Athos was hit by the Lucian cannonball on his leg.

Without waiting for Athos to respond, Lucia took a step back and proudly lifted her skirt: "Brother, look at me!"

Athos walked into the bright interior from the dark room. He smiled and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Does it look good, does it look good?" Lucia swung her skirt around in front of Athos.

"Lucia, your brother hasn't eaten yet, stay out of the way." Anna shouted in the restaurant.

"Okay." Lucia reluctantly wanted to give way, but before he could move his feet, Athos picked him up, and immediately laughed again, "Brother, hurry up, mom made fish soup for you!"

"Okay, I'm going to rush!" Athos ran to the restaurant with Lucia in his arms, and put the laughing little girl on the chair.

"Don't keep pampering Lucia." Anna complained as she brought out the fish soup, "Today she sees everyone showing off her skirt."

"It's really beautiful!" Lucia touched her skirt and said lovingly, "I like this skirt so much, I will wear it next year!"

"Next year, you will grow taller and you won't be able to wear it!" Anna tapped Lucia on the head, "Athos also saw your skirt, so go change and remove your hair."

"Got it." Lucia jumped off the chair and ran upstairs. Athos subconsciously glanced at Lucia with his ability.

Lucia Farr

Athos:  …

"Lucia." Athos called out.

"What's the matter?" Lucia looked back at Athos and smiled sweetly at him, "Brother?"

"Did you have a good time with your friends today?" Athos made an excuse to talk, and looked at Lucia's three upgraded skills at a glance.

Summoning God lv.7: When most people in this world want to perform the ritual of Summoning God, they must first attract the attention of God.

But some people are always exceptional.

The person whom God loves lv.4: God not only noticed the person whom God loves, but also radiates his attention to everyone around her. Congratulations, human beings, you have another way to win the favor of God.

Of course, this kind of grace is not a real liking, and whether it is useful or not is another matter.

Seance lv.2: There are three steps to ask God to come:

1. Draw a circle.

2. Quickly draw a magic circle.

3. Why not draw a magic circle?

The gods of today are also waiting to be called.

"..." Athos couldn't control his expression a little, he could only lower his head and drink a sip of soup to stabilize his mind, Lucia Barabara's words came in from the left ear and out from the right ear.

"Lucia, if you have something to say, wait until you change your clothes!" Anna urged.

"I know!" Lucia jumped upstairs.

Athos looked at his sister with mixed feelings, and couldn't help asking Anna: "Mom, is Lucia very pious to God?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Anna said angrily. "I took her to church since she was a child, but she never sat down once."

..." Great, so what is it that makes God love Lucia so much?

Athos ate his meal tastelessly, and when Lucia came down and said how he was praised by others, his heart was extremely complicated.

"By the way, brother." After Lucia finished blowing, she took out a candy from her pocket, "This is from Flora, it's super delicious, you can try it."

Athos looked at Lucia's expectant eyes, put the candy in his mouth, and felt a strong milky and sweet taste.

In fact, he doesn't like sweets very much, but in Lucia's expectant eyes, he still smiled and said, "It's delicious."

"I think it's delicious too!" Lucia was very happy, and then began to count the place of the box of candies, "There are six candies in a box, I have one, I gave Flora and Robin one each, Father, mother and brother each have one, the number is just right."

Athos couldn't help rubbing Lucia's head: "Brother will buy you candy too."

"I like my brother the most!" Lucia jumped into Athos' arms with a cheer, "I want candy!"

"Athos, don't spoil her all the time." Anna couldn't help complaining, "And Lucia, don't hinder your brother from eating!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Athos picked up the bowl and finished the fish soup, "Where's Dad?"

"He drank too much and fell asleep," Anna said. "You should rest early, too. You have to go to work tomorrow."

"I see," Athos replied, "I'll take Lucia to bed first."

"Go." Anna began to clear the table.

Athos carried Lucia all the way to her room, put it on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

Although he knew that Lucia was a child with strong hands-on ability, sometimes he couldn't help but want to spoil her.

Maybe God thinks so too.

Athos touched Lucia's little head: "Go to sleep."

"Well, my brother has to rest early." Lucia said happily.

When Athos closed the door and left, Lucia pricked her ears to listen to the movement outside.

Anna has finished packing.

Anna started to go upstairs.

Anna came over.

Lucia immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Anna pushed open the door and came in, and found that Lucia was asleep. She checked Lucia's quilt and found that it was well covered, then turned around and walked out, closing the door.

Lucia pricked up her ears again and began to listen.

The door to Anna's room was closed.

"Freedom!" Lucia lifted the quilt and jumped up, pulling out the fairy stick from under her bed, "Let's go play, Mistry!"

"Lucia, it's already ten o'clock in the evening." Mistry was extremely helpless. "You should rest. You are already asleep at this time."

"But tomorrow is still a holiday." Lucia said confidently, "Since I can stay in bed, why don't I go to bed late?"

"This is not the behavior of a good boy." Mistry already knew that he might not be able to persuade Lucia, but he still warned earnestly, "Go to bed early and get up early to grow taller."

"Don't lie to me, what does growing taller have to do with sleeping time." Lucia had already found the wire, and was about to pick the lock when she walked to the window, but found a black figure on the street.

"Hey, are you going out so late?" Lucia was a little surprised.

"This is the priest of the Moon Maiden," Mistry said. "You saw it when you came to Serancha, didn't you?"

"I remember." Lucia still remembered when she first saw it, "You told me that the girl of the moon is the patron saint of night workers, but what the textbook teaches is that the girl of the moon is the goddess who guards beauty and passion."

Mistry chuckled, his mild baritone lowered a little: "Of course, that's true."

Lucia felt that her ears were a little burning, and she rubbed her face: "But it's still strange, what is he doing out so late?"

"There are some jobs that can only be done at night." Mistry replied with a brisk smile, "When Miss Lucia grows up, I will tell you slowly."

"Okay." Lucia bulged and stared at the shadow carefully, "Hey, he seems to be carrying something?"

"This is not something you should know." Mistry urged gently, "Go to bed, Lucia."

Lucia was still a little curious about what the priest of the Moon Girl had brought, but it was too dark to see clearly, so she could only lie back on the bed.

"Which story do you want to hear today?" Mistry asked gently.

"Well...tomorrow is the birthday, I want to hear the hero's story." Lucia said.

"Okay," Mistry replied, "I think, what should I say?"

"Just tell me from the beginning." Lucia urged, "Tell me now."

Lucia remembered that when she was a child, Anna seemed to tell her a story about her birthday, but at that time she had to learn the language from scratch, so she couldn't understand it, and now she can't remember it at all.

"a long long time ago……"

"How long is a long time?"

"About five hundred years ago? Or five hundred and six?" Mistry corrected, "More than five hundred years ago, an evil god appeared in this world."

"He used human flesh, fear, and despair as bait, and the shadow shrouded the entire human world."

Lucia quietly listened to Mistry's story.

"Humans can't fight against evil gods, pray to gods, hope gods can help humans."

"So the day after the prayer ended, a hero was born."

"Heroes have eyes that see through everything, and a spear that penetrates everything?" Lucia added.

"Yes, the hero finally defeated the evil god and brought peace to the world." Mistry concluded.

"...It feels like a street novel that no one will read." Lucia commented.

"Indeed." Mistry sighed, "It's an old-fashioned plot."

"But it's a happy ending." Lucia closed her eyes, "I'm going to bed, good night."

"Good night." Mistry replied softly.

A few seconds later, Lucia opened her eyes and said willfully, "I can't sleep, I want to hear you sing."

"Singing?" Mistry laughed. "I can't sing, Miss Lucia."

"You can learn it." Lucia encouraged Mistry, "I think your voice is very nice, and it must be great to sing!"

"Okay, let's think about it." Mistry reluctantly agreed, humming in a low voice, "Go to sleep, my baby, the fragrance of flowers will accompany you to sleep."

Lucia missed it a little: "It seems that Anna sang this song."

"Well." Mistry said softly, "Go to sleep, my lovely Lucia."

The holiday passed in a flash, and when Lucia recovered from the crazy play, she found that there were only two days left in the holiday.

But her homework hasn't started yet!

So when the little friends asked him to go out to play, Lucia did not

Had to refuse to come and find my friends.

"I haven't written a word of my holiday homework yet..."

"You haven't written it yet?" Robin laughed when he was surprised, "Didn't you have a good time with us the other day?"

"How could it be unhappy to play together!" Lucia was aggrieved, "Have you all finished writing?"

Flora nodded reluctantly and comforted Lucia: "It doesn't matter, there is not much homework this time, and it will be finished soon."

"Ugh..." Lucia replied with a sad face.

"It seems that you are going to lose to me this time." Robin said maliciously, "We agreed that if you lose to me in one place, you will be my slave."

"The premise is that the two of us will be compared." Lucia looked at Robin aggrieved, "I can't do homework."

Robin laughed angrily at Lucia's righteous attitude. He stretched out his hand and pulled Lucia's face, only to let go after Lucia stepped on the clean shoes for several times: "This time you just admit defeat, when Forget it, my slave, I'll be nice to you."

Lucia covered her face and said angrily, "Impossible, I won't lose to you!"

"Then let's see." Robin said, "This holiday homework, let's see who can write better, and the worse one is the loser. How about it?"

"Compete!" Lucia was aroused, "I must be better than you!"

"You are not allowed to cheat, I wrote my homework myself." Robin reminded Lucia, "Don't peek at the textbook."

Lucia: ! ! !

"You, you write this kind of thing, and you don't even read the book?" Lucia thought of a pile of 'XX's characteristics' in the workbook. 'What is XX's priesthood'', XXX's body parts Toxic' is big head.

Originally thought that after crossing into a different world, I would say goodbye to me forever in the exam, but it turned out that although there is no mathematics, physics and chemistry in the other world, it has several times the history of mysteries.

Every day in class, countless concepts are thrown down, and each one has to be memorized...

"Of course, such a simple thing." Robin pretended to be calm, "Just write it, I'll supervise you."

"...I, I can't." Lucia admitted pitifully, "You won't let me read the textbook, I can't remember it at all."

Looking at the poor Lucia, Flora hurriedly held Lucia's hand and gently advised: "It's okay, I'll teach you, these are very simple."

"Is it really that simple?" Lucia looked at Flora anxiously.

"Of course it's simple." Robin sat on Lucia's bed, "What's more troublesome is the relationship between the nobles, that's the real mess... Don't talk about this, just write it, we'll be waiting for you here , just ask us if you have any questions."

Lucia took a careful look at Robin and found that he didn't seem to mention the slave thing again, and cheered: "Robin is great!"

"It's not that I forgot." Robin saw through Lucia's thoughts at a glance, "I'm not interested in beating you in such a place that you are not good at it. When the magic class starts next year, I will definitely not lose to yours."

"Mmmm, okay, okay." Lucia agreed, opening the workbook and starting to write.

"The Lord of Glory's name is..." Lucia recited, "I remember Tanuman? His honorary title is... eh? Lord of Glory? Priesthood? It seems to be in charge of power and legality?"

The topics of the first major section are basically asking about the Seven Pillars of God. Lucia remembers it quite clearly here, and it is finally completed.

From the second page to the sub-god part, Lucia started to have a headache.

After finally stumbling and writing the part related to God, Lucia was dragged by Robin who couldn't listen to the part about geography.

From the morning to the afternoon, finally finished homework.

"You'd better study hard." Robin couldn't stand it any longer. "You make me even want to compete with you!"

"I don't want to compare with you, Robin either." Lucia persuaded in a good voice, "Although you didn't like me at first, but we are all good friends now, why do you always want to compare with me?"

"Could it be that the days when I was your slave were wasted like this?" Robin refused, "No, even if you are a friend, you have to be me... a slave for two months is enough!"

"Then count this time?" Lucia sacrificed herself for friendship. "This time should be counted as my loss? So I'll be your slave for a day."

"I don't want it!" Robin refused. "If I want to win you, I must win you where you are most proud. I don't even bother to compare with you where you don't care!"

Lucia tugged at her eyebrows: "What I am most proud of, then you will definitely never win against me in your life."

"What did you say!" Robin was very upset, "I will definitely surpass you in fights, and things like climbing trees are very simple, I just need to learn it, I have hired a tutor for painting, and I also start counting. I've learned... I'll surpass you sooner or later!"

"No." Lucia seemed to be troubled, but she was actually very proud, and she just put her face in front of Robin's eyes, "I'm the most powerful thing, isn't it my face! Look at you, it's so beautiful. Face, you can't win!"

Robin angrily pushed Lucia's face away: "Who is talking about this!"

"You can also try beauty and beauty." Lucia urged, "What if you look better than me?"

"Only you girls can be beautiful!" Robin stubbornly refused.

"Then you will never be able to win the place I am most proud of." Lucia looked at Robin with a look of regret.

Robin looked at Lucia's proud face, which was really not pleasing to the eye, but he couldn't beat Lucia, so he had to make a note for Lucia secretly...

Now Lucia has to be a slave for two months and a day before they can be friends!
