Chapter 1217 Gift

Melissa wasn't very knowledgeable, but at least she was a student at Backlund Technical University.

Living in a 'capital of thousands' like Backlund, the news is far better than when living in Tingen City.

But it was only recently that I learned about the 'Crimson Empire' from the newspapers.

Her understanding of this country is still in the allies of Loen, and in the emerging countries that have just established diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Loen.

For a student like her, the Crimson Empire is far, far away.

But now, because of the donation from the Crimson Empire, he suddenly drew closer to her.

This made Melissa feel like she was dreaming.

When she came to the door of the laboratory, she met her classmate and friend.

Eudora.

Although this girl studied mechanics, she loved poetry and was quite talented in it.

And a miracle happened to her!

When the war broke out, Eudora was blown to the leg by a bomb.

Melissa even heard that her leg needed to be amputated to save her life.

But not long after, she was back in the spotlight, her bloody leg back as if it had never been hurt.

"Melissa."

Eudora beckoned, and when Melissa approached, she stood on tiptoe, pointed to the laboratory and said, "Look, the exchange team from the Crimson Empire has arrived."

"There's a very handsome man inside, that's him. Mr. Reg."

Looking in the direction of Eudora's finger, Melissa saw a slender young man.

He was wearing a double-breasted long coat and a half-height silk top hat. His eyebrows were long and straight, and his blue eyes shone with charming light.

Many girls are fascinated by him.

Melissa only thinks he is good-looking, but she is not as obsessed as other girls.

She felt that those complicated and sophisticated machines were more attractive to her and fascinated her even more.

She even yearns for the mystical and supernatural powers related to this.

This kind of thing is always spread in the streets and alleys in Backlund, and after the war, transcendence is not a secret.

immediately.

Melissa saw that beside Mr. Reg, there was a lady wearing a hood and a priest's robe.

This lady seems to have a high status in the exchange group, and Principal Mormont is enthusiastically introducing the latest radio technology to this lady.

But the lady just listened politely with a smile, but obviously her mind was not on it, and her eyes always rolled to other places from time to time.

This lady was very beautiful, and there was a very special charm about her.

Even Melissa, who is a woman, was slightly distracted after seeing her.

And more men, no matter teachers or students, can hardly separate their eyes from that woman.

"That's the head of the 'Exchange Group', the foreign minister of the Crimson Empire, and the priest of the Church of the Lord of War, Ms. Katerina."

Seeing that Melissa noticed the lady, Eudora whispered, "She's pretty, isn't she?"

Melissa nodded.

At this moment, the lady just turned around.

She saw Melissa.

The bright blue eyes suddenly gained focus.

Then he left Principal Mormont, who was having a great time talking, and walked to Yingying.

Melissa's nose suddenly burst into a faint fragrance, as if because of the lady's approach, even the air became sweeter.

The teachers and students watching the laboratory even more consciously backed away.

When Melissa also retreated with the crowd, the crowd in front of her naturally separated left and right, allowing her to face the lady.

"You must be Miss Melissa."

Foreign Minister of the Crimson Empire.

Priest of the Church of the Lord of War.

A beautiful, dignified and divine woman.

He took Melissa's hands.

There is a smile between the brows.

Katerina's smile made people's eyes brighten up, as if the sun was shining a lot in today's not-so-clear weather.

Melissa was flattered.

I don't know how the other party will know me as an ordinary student.

"Hello, Ms. Catalina."

She quickly returned the gift.

The head of the 'Exchange Group' smiled and said, "A friend of yours, please ask me to send you my greetings."

"And let me pass a word to you."

"Dear Melissa, you have a pair of dexterous hands, which will surely bring happiness to everyone in the future."

"So no matter when, don't give up learning, don't let go of any opportunity to gain knowledge."

After finishing speaking, Katerina patted Melissa's hand lightly.

Turn around and leave.

Melissa stood there in a daze.

She had no idea who the friend Katerina was talking about.

Which friend is it that can let such a big man send a word to himself?

At this time, Eudora came over: "Melissa, what did the lady tell you?"

Melissa didn't like showing off, so she said, "She asked me to study hard."

Eudora sighed in a poetic tone: "What a gentle lady."

When the "exchange group" of the Crimson Empire visited Backlund Technical University.

The outskirts of Backlund.

A carriage left the manor and headed for the city under the escort of eight knights.

In the carriage.

Oswald Kevin, a member of the Antiquities Preservation Association, was sitting in the carriage with his hand on a wooden box next to him.

The box contains an item that was recently recovered, after identification by experts in the association.

It is thought that this item may hold a clue to the location of an ancient god's tomb.

This item was just delivered to Oswald's manor last night, and now he is going to escort this item back to the association headquarters.

When the carriage passed a forested mountain road, suddenly, the knight in front noticed a figure standing in the middle of the mountain road.

Wearing a black formal suit and top hat, the rather young gentleman had a smile on his face.

The knight gestured quickly and stopped.

Oswald's heart tightened, and he asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

"Someone is blocking the way, sir." A knight came to the carriage and reported.

Oswald said decisively: "Rush over!"

But at this moment, he heard a familiar voice.

"Mr. Oswald, are we no longer friends?"

"Otherwise, why don't you invite me to sit in the carriage."

Oswald froze for a moment, opened the window, and looked over.

Then exhaled softly.

"Duke?"

After a while.

Sifa got into the carriage.

Oswald laughed loudly: "Since the last investigation of the 'weather goblin' incident, you have not heard from me. I thought you were buried in the belly of a fish."

Looking at the old man, Xifa smiled: "I let you down."

Oswald snorted, "I haven't seen you for so long, and you actually have empty hands without even a present. You're not a gentleman at all."

Xifa snorted and said, "Who said that, I have already delivered the gift."

"Otherwise, it would not be me standing on the road just now, but someone else."

It is near the mountain road that the carriage passed, in a forest.

Seven or eight corpses lay in disorder, lying on the ground or hanging from trees.

All burnt to coke.
