Chapter 221: Not a Single Trace of Growth

Gray, Yvette, and Caleb quickly left the magic eye train and rushed into the depths of the ice and snow forest.

Among them, Gray and Caleb are the main offensive and defensive forces. The reason why Yvette followed is because she has the magic eye made by the Lehman family, which has the ability to see through the direction of the spirit veins, and can find the spirit in the first time. Nodes, greatly reducing redundant work, shortening the time they spend in the snow forest.

From the window of the guest room, Liu Xia looked at the back of Grey who was going away, and there was no disturbance in her heart, the expression on her face was as usual like a pool of stagnant water, as if her previous words of concern about Grey were all false.

He walked out of the room and walked towards the second guest room where the second king was.

Room two.

After Lucia knocked on the door, Coles quickly opened the door for Lucia and let him enter the room.

The heating was turned on in the room, but under the cold erosion of the ice and snow forest, it was almost as if there was nothing.

The Second King was sitting on the sofa with a cigar between his fingers, and he was still puffing. He looked at the heavy snowflakes flying outside the window, with a bit of unwillingness in his eyes.

"The disciple is working hard outside, but I can't even help at all."

The Second King turned his head, took a puff of his cigar, and said to Liu Xia with a depressed face, "Liang Yi, do you think I have failed as a teacher?"

Before Liu Xia could give an answer, he turned around and started talking to himself again.

"The clock tower judged that I have the ability to teach students, so all kinds of geniuses and monsters are stuffed into my classroom, but every time I see those gifted students ascending to the altar and altar at a very fast speed, no one knows what I think. thinking about something."

"Envy, envy, sometimes I even hate their talents, because they can easily do things that I can't do, my talents are very low, not even one percent of theirs, if it weren't for me If the teaching students are good at it, they don’t even have a sacrificial seat, at most it’s just an open seat, which is better than a magic apprentice.”

There is no teacher who is the saddest.

He pursued the road of magic, but he stagnated because of his poor talent. Instead, he taught students who surpassed him one by one. When his students surpassed him, how much was he gratified in his heart? How much envy and jealousy, no one knows.

"Your mind is disturbed."

Lucia spoke out.

The figure of the Second Emperor froze for a moment, and then he smiled wryly, "I can see it at a glance, you really have the talent to observe human beings, as you said, I was disturbed by the words of that servant last night... ...I don't usually say that kind of thing out of my mouth."

Normally, he is rational enough to hide all his negative emotions in his heart, but his rational barrier was breached by the follower last night, which made him doubt himself.

"Does the words of the servant who claims to be Hephaestion really have this magical power for you?"

Liu Xia asked rhetorically: "Whether it's in the Stripping City or the Two-Appearance Tower, in my eyes, you are a very good person, with profound knowledge and logical logic, even more so when you were in the Clock Tower, and your strength is far superior to yours. So, to be honest, I never expected that you would be knocked down by a few words, and I even began to doubt whether you are El-Melloi II himself."

This is indeed Lucia's opinion of El-Melloi II.

There are not many people who can make him praise. So far, apart from the unpredictable [Two Ceremonies], only El-Melloi II and Yoya Yashiki, the head of the Demon Slayer Squad, can make him Considered 'excellent' only.

"Excellent...then you think too highly of me."

The Second King shook his head, lowered his head and took another puff of his cigar, "Yangyi, what do you think is growth for a person?"

"Beyond your past self."

"That's right, go beyond yourself."

The second laughed at himself, "Then I didn't do it at all. I'm the same as ten years ago. I haven't made any progress at all. I'm just as reckless, stubborn, ignorant, and self-righteous as that time."

ten years ago.

That seemed to be when the Second King participated in the last Holy Grail War, and El-Melloi from the previous generation was still alive.

However, Liu Xia didn't know much about this, so she couldn't easily make a guess.

After making a lot of negative comments to himself, the Second King fell into silence again, and his face became extremely depressed again.

He has been in this state since last night, and it has not improved until now.

From the looks of it, it would be somewhat impossible for him to solve this incident.

"Grow up..."

Liu Xia also lowered her head accordingly, and under the murmur in her heart, she also fell into deep thought.

"Conversely, can my current behavior be considered growth?"

At this moment, Liu Xia had the same question in his heart as the Second Emperor.

After he reunited with Grey, he has been acting as a character that meets Grey's expectations, so he will go to help when Grey is troubled, and when she asks him for something, it will not be because there is no benefit And refused, and took the initiative to stand up when Olga Marie had nothing to do.

The reason why when borrowing the Holy Lance, it was called a 'request' rather than a 'condition', was because whether Gray agreed to lend him the Holy Lance or not, Lucia planned to help her unconditionally. It can be regarded as a windfall.

His original intention was to understand and generate feelings by acting as a character, and to understand his psychological changes on the day of the Shuangmao Pagoda.

But after this period of time, his heart is still as stable as before, not to mention that he didn't gain any feelings through this, and he can't even understand the psychological changes in the Twin Towers.

This should be the same as the second generation, there is no growth.

…………

After more than ten minutes.

Through the window of the guest room, Lucia, the Second King, and Coles discovered that Yvette and Caleb walked out of the snowy forest together and returned to the magic eye train.

After the two returned, the engine roared again, and the wheels rolled slowly on the rails.

"Wait, where's Gray?"

The second's face changed instantly, the decadence just now was gone, only nervousness and worry remained, "Grey didn't come back with them!"

Lucia narrowed her eyes slightly.

Even with his eyesight, he didn't see Gray's figure from the snowy forest.

"Liangyi!"

The Second King didn't hesitate, and immediately made a serious request to Liu Xia, "I won't go out easily, and that servant shouldn't easily start a war with the magic eye train, Grey, please!"

"I see."

Liu Xia nodded, then walked forward, opened the window of the train, and before the train accelerated further, she jumped out of the window and rushed into the snowy forest in the distance.
