Chapter 34

This is the first time that Athos has entered a cake shop.

When he picked up the price list and saw a cake with a minimum price of 10 silver coins, his heart throbbed violently.

Although he had already expected that the cake would be very expensive, he really did not expect it to be so expensive.

If it weren't for Louisa looking elegant and noble, Athos would probably invite her to a drink in a street pub, and that would probably solve the problem with just one silver coin.

"What would you like to eat?" Athos asked politely, secretly deciding that whatever Luisa wanted to eat, he would grit his teeth.

As for yourself, just drink some water.

"I'll just drink some herbal tea, how about you?" Louisa thoughtfully ordered a cheapest drink and asked Athos with a smile.

Athos glanced at the price of 1 silver coin for Jingshen flower tea in the drink, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'll have a cup of Jingshen flower tea too."

After spending two silver coins, the two finally sat on the chair outside the cake shop and began to chat.

"Actually, I came to you because of Lucia's affairs." Luisa briefly explained, "Because most of the children kidnapped before were from the elementary school, in order to prevent similar things from happening, the academy decided to Teaching magic to children in advance."

"Lucia told us about this. She said that she was determined to believe in the patron saint who saved her." Athos felt that there was no problem with this.

After all, his expectation for Lucia is not a high-level temple, as long as she can be safe and happy for a lifetime.

"Yes, that's the problem." Luisa frowned in trouble, "Lucia's first magical technique seemed to be a beautiful dress that God gave her... Of course I don't mean to be embarrassed, after all, little girls like beautiful clothes. It's nature."

"It's just that I'm a little weird. I don't think God's will will change because of someone, but this magical technique seems to be specially created for Lucia's wishes. I've never seen such a thing."

"..." Athos was silent.

He looked at Luisa without saying a word, thinking that there is more you haven't seen.

But magic can make beautiful clothes? Athos hadn't heard Lucia say this, he wondered if the magic was not stable, so Lucia didn't bring it out.

"Even if the patron saint of Lucia is a god who has just been recognized, there is always a world of difference between gods and humans," Louisa said worriedly, "I came to you because I hope you can teach Lucia with me. Sia, tell her not to use the power of God as the only way to solve the problem."

"I can say that Lucia would not do that." Athos couldn't help defending his sister, "She is a sensible child."

"Sorry." Louisa realized that what she said might have hurt Athos a little, and immediately apologized, "I just hope we can teach her."

"I understand." Athos slowed down, "I have a big reaction, thank you."

"This is what I should do."

After the two communicated about their children's education, Athos returned home with a heavy heart and found Lucia sitting on the sofa alone reading textbooks.

She looked at the book in her hand with a serious and tangled expression, muttering words in her mouth, looking very embarrassed.

Hearing the door opening, Lucia immediately raised her head, showing a relieved expression: "Brother, you are back!"

"Well, are you home alone?" Athos walked over and gently touched Lucia's hair.

"Yeah, mother sent me back and went out. She has to continue to work." Lucia replied with her head lowered.

Recently, Anna successfully applied for a job as a chef in a nearby tavern. Her work was obviously busy, and she took time out every day to pick up Lucia from school.

After sending Lucia home, Anna has to continue to go to work and can't come back until after nine o'clock in the evening.

Athos also felt that this kind of work was too hard, but Anna had already made a decision, and he could only support it, and secretly paid attention to whether there was a more suitable job for Anna.

Athos temporarily put Anna's affairs aside, and deliberately teased Lucia with a box: "Look what I brought you?"

"What is this?" Lucia stared at the small box curiously, "Is it candy?"

"No." Athos put the box on the table and opened it for Lucia to see, "Look, cake."

"Cake!" Lucia was very happy, "It looks delicious!"

"Well, you eat the cake first, and I'll cook." Athos touched Lucia's soft hair again, and when he was about to stand up, Lucia reached out and grabbed his clothes, "What's the matter? ?"

"Wait a minute." Lucia jumped off the sofa and ran to the kitchen to take out the fork, and actually forked a large piece of cake and fed it to Athos, "Brother eat first."

Athos refused: "Thank you, you can eat it, my brother has already eaten it."

Rejected by Athos, Lucia didn't put his hand down, but stubbornly placed it in front of Athos. In the end Athos could only eat the cake with happiness and helplessness.

After Athos had eaten, Lucia nibbled at the cake bit by bit with a fork, took the rest of the cake and ate it in half, then closed the box and declared: "The rest is for Mom and Dad."

Such Lucia made Athos sad and happy. He rubbed Lucia's hair: "Eat it yourself, brother will buy another one later."

"That won't work, I'm still a child, I need to eat well." Lucia refused, urging Athos, "Brother, let's cook, I'm hungry."

Athos's brother's heart was sweetened by Lucia, and when he walked to the kitchen, he forgot about his repeated decision to discipline Lucia well.

Until Athos dropped by to pick up Lucia one day, he met Louisa and was told by Louisa that Lucia would use seance the next day.

Athos, who has ignored these things because his sister is too sensible and cute: "..."

In fact, it is not surprising that Athos is so fast. After all, it can be seen from the description of Lucia's second-level seance, no matter what she draws, she can definitely summon a god.

Back at home, Athos tried to ask Lucia about the seance several times, but finally held back.

Lucia herself was very preoccupied, unaware that Athos was hesitating to speak, and she was still worried when she lay down on the bed.

"What are you worried about?" Mistry asked curiously.

"I don't know." Lucia replied in a low voice, turning over and lying on the bed, "Can I really succeed in serenity?"

"No problem," Mistry said with certainty.

"I'm always a little worried, because my magic circle is not very good." Lucia recalled the rune with a bitter face, "It turns out that every rune is meaningful, I think it's very difficult."

"It's okay, we'll practice slowly, and we'll be able to draw more." Mistry comforted Lucia, "Take it easy."

Lucia answered softly, and fell asleep with full of worry.

The next day was the divine art class, and Lucia was the only one left in the entire Sun Building. This time, she got the permission to use the seance practice room from Louisa, and started to communicate directly with the seance.

Walking into this practice with about 30 square meters

In the study room, Lucia found that the symbols of Tanuman, Lord of Radiance, were painted on all four walls.

Lucia, who already has a certain understanding of the gods, knows that the Lord of Glory is in charge of the rules and laws of the world and the gods, and then summoning the gods in the room with the blessing of Tanuman can reduce all kinds of dangers.

Lucia took a deep breath and began to draw the most basic serenity magic circle seriously. This magic circle has no special effect and only has the most basic communication function.

Because she was a beginner, Luisa guided her a few times. After the magic circle was drawn, Lucia began to recite the summoning words.

The spell of seance is generally divided into three sections, the first section is to locate the god to be summoned, the second section is to explain the great achievements of the god, and the third section is to ask the god to do.

"I call you, my patron saint." Lucia read the first paragraph.

Originally, the honorable names and clergy of gods should be added here, but whether it is the "God of Krypton Gold and Profitable Merchants" or the "God of Mary Sue" is very strange, Lucia can only ignore it.

"It's you, protect me in times of crisis and keep me safe from disaster." Lucia read the second paragraph.

Although Lucia felt that Mistry had a lot of great achievements—for example, using money to buy believers, charging for chats, and cheating believers to draw cards... But this is not something that can be said.

"Please, answer my call and come here."

As Lucia's words fell, in the circular circle, the circles nested within each other gradually lit up, and a breeze was blowing from nowhere in the closed practice room.

Lucia opened her eyes wide and stared at the magic circle, looking forward and apprehensive.

Gradually, a shadow turned from virtual to real.

It appeared to be a tall, thin man wearing a black cloak.

In Lucia's expectant eyes, the light and fog dissipated, and the gods who descended in the magic circle revealed their true colors.

It's a skeleton without meat.

Louisa:  …

Lucia:  …

Lucia looked at Mistry who appeared in the circle, and silently recited the spell to end the call. Mistry, who had just arrived, was forcibly sent back without saying a word.

【What the hell is going on! Didn't you say it's okay? ! 】

[Did you draw the rune wrong? 】 Mistry firmly refuses to admit that it was his own fault, 【Is there something wrong with the piece responsible for shaping the avatar? 】

[How is that possible, it's all your fault! 】 Lucia also resolutely does not admit mistakes.

[Then we will try again, if it is still wrong, it means that it is your problem. 】

【Try it! 】

Luisa looked at Lucia's expression on the side, and felt that she should comfort her.

Although it is normal for the seance to fail, in general, the failure is because the gods cannot be invited, or the caster cannot bear the pressure and madness from the gods.

It was the first time that a... incomplete avatar had been summoned like this.

Before Luisa could speak, she heard Lucia start chanting angrily again.

"No...!" Luisa hurriedly stopped her, for fear that after Lucia failed to summon the gods, she would be punished by summoning the gods again.

"I call on you, my patron saint. It is you who protect me in peril and keep me safe from disaster."

"Please, answer my call and come here."

Lucia didn't hear what Luisa was saying, she finished reading it without emotion, and the magic circle lit up again.

This time came out a bouncing hand.

"..." Why is this happening!

Lucia repatriated Mistry again angrily. She thought of what Teacher Luisa said just now, so she forced herself to look at Luisa with a smile: "Teacher, what's the matter?"

"...No more." Louisa said silently.
