Chapter 637 115. Alicia

The city of Chittel is actually very far away from Saint-Naari. It is to the east of Saint-Naari and only a hundred miles away from the border between Shivali and Narli. It is also the place where Hailsen grew up in his childhood and worked in his youth.

When Fisher was studying under Hailsham, Hailsham had said more than once that when he was too old to work and ready to retire, he would return to his hometown in Chittel City to take care of his old age. In a few years, Recently, he finally realized his wish and returned here to retire.

It's a pity that when Fisher came back, he had already passed away and left in his most beloved hometown.

Fisher's mood became heavier and heavier as he got closer and closer to the city of Chittel on the train. There were particularly many Nari people going to Chittel, so even though he was almost at the end of the train, the train in Chittel was still full of people. , apparently all going to attend Hailsham's funeral.

In the city of Chittel, this originally ordinary village has been planned as a development area for Nali for decades because of people like Hailsen, and even a magic plant was set up here. As for the branches of the association, you must know that according to the rules of the Nali Magic Society, there are only seven cities in the entire Nali that are qualified to set up branches, and this is the eighth branch outside the regulations.

This respect for Hailsen is also reflected in the construction of the city. When he first entered the station, a line of extremely eye-catching Nari signs attracted Fisher's attention.

"My deepest condolences to the great magician, Mr. Hailsham Lacazette."

There were many flowers piled up on the station, as well as Hailsen's photos and altar. It was obviously a spontaneous act of the Nali people.

In this way, Fisher was wrapped in a secret blessing, experiencing and feeling all this from the perspective of a bystander. To be honest, he really wanted to thank the Asian sissy for the blessing that he had left to him. It was precisely because of this blessing that he could concentrate on participating in Teacher Hailsson's class without having to worry about Elizabeth's traps. funeral.

"The funeral is tomorrow? Should we find a place to rest, such as a hotel or something."

"You have also seen that here are all people from other places. There are people setting up tents in the wilderness where we stopped earlier. It can be seen that the hotels in the city that can be stayed are basically full."

"Hmm, but that doesn't matter, right? With our current situation, I guess no one will notice if you just find someone else's room and go in."

".I am a blessed Fisher, not a blessed pervert. I have no idea of ​​sneaking into other people's rooms and living there."

".But what's wrong with you and the pervert?"

"Shut up."

Fisher got off the bus with the crowd and bullied Emhardt, who was making such nonsense again, and walked towards the outside of the platform.

So is the method mentioned by Emhart feasible? In fact, it is feasible.

He was conducting experiments along the way, and he discovered that secret blessings are not simply equivalent to the term "invisible". A more appropriate description should actually be "undetectable", and this undiscoverable state can be applied to items. extended.

For example, he secretly took the hat off a gentleman's head in the car, but the gentleman didn't notice that his hat was missing until a long time ago. What's even more bizarre is that Fisher stood holding his hat. In front of him, he could not detect Fisher or the hat in his hand, which could also explain why others could not detect his presence when Emhart was hiding in his arms.

Even if he is conscious, because he is still in the category of "holy object", he also enjoys this characteristic to a certain extent, but it only needs to be very close to Fisher to take effect, and he cannot stay in his presence anyway. on the shoulders.

After leaving the station, Fisher planned to go directly to Hailsham's mansion in the suburbs. He came back to Chittel City for two purposes. One was to attend Hailsham's funeral and to prevent Elizabeth from disturbing the normal order due to her own affairs; the other was to It is to determine the clue related to the "treasure" that Heller said

Hailsen's residence was very conspicuous, because the Chittel City Hall showed the direction to visitors along the way, so soon Fisher silently hitched a ride to the suburbs and saw the hotel hosted by the Golden Palace. The venue for Hailsham's funeral.

It was originally just a church on the outskirts of Chitel City, but now it was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside the venue organized by the Golden Palace.

Although the formal funeral will be held tomorrow, the decoration and other structures have been built, divided into an inner court and an outer court. The inner court is inside and outside the church, and only those who have received an invitation can enter; while the outer court provides the public with A space for mourning, and the outfield is dotted with conspicuous and hidden surveillance sights.

"This is such a grand occasion, and Teacher You's body hasn't been brought here yet, right? Why are there so many patrolling guards here?"

"What else could be the reason?"

"Oh, of course I know it's because of you. I mean, shouldn't Elizabeth have received the letter you sent? She should, um, be more kind. There is no need to make it so tense."

Emhard adjusted his words. Even though Fisher had vaccinated him in advance when he came, he still couldn't help but feel regretful when he saw the venue was so tight. After all, there were still storage boxes in the church for her to go to every month. Fisher's record of paying homage to Teresa, even the fun-loving Emhard may wish at this moment that they could have a good talk, instead of being like a predator.

But Fisher didn't mean anything about it, and instead explained it to Elizabeth,

"Elizabeth's patience is limited. She couldn't stand it for even twenty minutes when she ran away. Now it's been four and a half years, and even her best patience has been worn away. What's more, Valentina had also been with her before. She passed the letter. Fortunately, she didn’t know that I went to the Southern Continent to meet Rafael and Jasmine, otherwise it would have been really troublesome.”

".I don't know why, but every time you say the word 'not bad', I feel chills in my body."

"You mean, she might know about the Southern Continent that I went to first?"

".Maybe I'm crazy."

Fisher didn't say any more, he just crossed the church and walked openly to where Hailsham lived. It was originally the ruins of a medieval magic tower, nine stories high. He was young here. It was divided for his use during work.

Crossing the guards of the Golden Palace outside the Magic Tower and entering the outer wall of the Magic Tower, Fisher suddenly looked a little confused when he looked at the closed door in front of the Magic Tower that suddenly looked a little gray.

I still remember that when he was studying at the Royal Academy, he and Elizabeth followed Hailsham back during the summer vacation to retrieve the notes he had stored here when he was young. At that time, there were only a few servants in the family responsible for keeping the Magic Tower clean. His granddaughter Valerie I have never met him since I was traveling abroad.

But even so, the comfort and vitality here at that time are incomparable to the scene today. It was as if with the departure of the magician, this magic tower inherited from the Middle Ages had returned to a "relic" and became lifeless.

Fisher did not leave the main entrance, but raised his eyes to look at the nine-story tower that he had not seen for a long time, maintaining a heavy silence.

"Drive! Drive!"

"Listen to the order and give way!"

At this moment, an extremely urgent command came from behind Fisher. He quickly turned around and saw that the guards of the Golden Palace had given way, and an ordinary wooden carriage drove into the magical palace. At the position of the tower, a young Swali man came down from the top. He got out of the car first and then gently extended his hand to the carriage behind him.

"Honey, come on."

"Um."

A bare hand was stretched out from the car, and a blond Nali woman who was a little pale and pregnant slowly walked out.

She wears a black veil on her head, which is a standard Nali funeral style, and it is the kind that only relatives would wear. In this way, the identity of the other party is also clear: this is Valerie Lacaze, the granddaughter of Teacher Hailsson. Ms. Special, and this gentleman Shivali should be her husband.

None of them noticed Fisher, who they had never met before. After helping his wife down, the Swali gentleman quickly shouted in the direction of the magic tower,

"Surena, come out quickly and help Valerie in, and tell the others that there is something important to do later!"

"Why!"

At this time, the door of the Magic Tower opened, and a middle-aged woman with a hurried look and holding a broom walked out. She quickly threw the broom away and stepped forward.

"Ah, Mr. Chick, didn't you go to the hospital in the city for a check-up? Why did you come back so early? How is the lady's health? Is she feeling better?"

"She's much better. The doctor prescribed some anti-fetal medicine, and I also carved some sleeping magic. It's okay. Please help Valerie back quickly. I have something to do later."

"Okay, okay."

Fisher just stood behind silently and took in all this, but he did not step forward because the blessing was still on him and he didn't know when it would be lifted. Instead, he took advantage of the door opening and entered the Magic Tower directly. Fisher did not see the body on the first floor, so it should be on the top floor, because the top is Teacher Hailsson's office and residence.

He did not use the gravity magic on the first floor, and climbed up step by step along the spiral staircase in front. When he reached the top floor, his normal body was obviously a little out of breath, and he quickly reached the top floor.

Opening the door of Hailsen's office, the place is a little messier than before. The four walls are covered with bookshelves, which together support an extremely wide space. On the red carpet, a square crystal coffin was placed in the center, waiting for someone to take him away tomorrow and take him to the church where he would finally rest.

There was only reflection on the crystal coffin, which prevented Fisher from seeing the structure inside clearly. Perhaps at this moment, he even hoped that it was empty and was just a trap used by Elizabeth to catch him.

But below, the sadness of Valerie just now and the silence of the entire city made the fantasy in his mind unsupported by reality.

He took a deep breath, and in the silence, he slowly walked towards the crystal coffin. Soon, an old man wearing a black magic robe from the Magic Association, with white beard and hair, and a wrinkled face fell asleep peacefully. The appearance appeared in front of Fisher.

The crystal coffin was full of flowers, and in his arms he held the masterpiece "The Complete Theory of Magic" that he had been completing throughout his life. It was not until he came back now that Fisher realized that the book had been completed and published.

Fisher didn't dare to exhale the deep breath he took. He just looked quietly at Hailsham in the coffin in front of him, as if it took a long time to accept the reality that he was gone.

And when that moment came, he took a long breath and said softly,

"I'm back, teacher."

"."

The corpse in the coffin did not respond, leaving Fisher's hand to caress the coffin, causing the shadow cast by the light to also flicker over Hailsham's face.

"I didn't expect that I would be here for four and a half years, and that I wouldn't be able to see my teacher for the last time."

"My condolences, Fisher. You know I don't blame you."

"I know"

Emhardt in his arms spoke in time to comfort Fisher, who was feeling a little depressed at the moment. Of course Fisher knew that, but the emotion was unavoidable. He could only endure the sadness and look away. Towards other parts of Hailsham in the room.

Soon, he saw some of his magic manuscripts on Hailsham's desk, as well as the "Comprehensive Theory of Magic" that was exactly the same as what he was holding in his arms at the moment.

Fisher walked over there in silence, picked up the book, and flipped through it casually. It recorded all the magical theories and discoveries of mankind since the Middle Ages. Hailsham not only spent his whole life searching for the lost secrets of human magic. Part of it is also dedicated to getting new magical ideas from it.

The reason why Hailsham was revered as the great magician of the century was not only because of his extremely high magical attainments, but also because he led and corrected an extremely correct magical value. He changed the trend of completely denying medieval magic and accused the use of magic as a Tools of War, summarizing various theories of creative magic

Fisher turned all the way, from the beginning to the end, and from the end back to the beginning, but inadvertently turned to the title page again, which recorded a brief sentence,

"For the immortal virtue of mankind, for the brilliance and mystery of magic, for my deceased child and his wife, and for my two lovely granddaughters."

"And for my excellent and only disciple."

"——Hailson Lacazette"

"."

Fisher's hand holding the paper tightened little by little. At this moment, his heart was turbulent. At this moment, with his violent emotional fluctuations, his rank rose little by little in the gradually dissipating golden light, and a terrifying aura burst out. , apparently at this moment, the blessing of secret protection finally disappeared, revealing his existence in front of Hailsham's coffin.

Fisher slowly closed the book, and then he couldn't control himself anymore and reached out to cover his face. Everything seemed to be revealed without saying a word.

Emhard quickly flew out of his arms and ran to his shoulders. He had no hands, so he could only spread out the pages of his book to form an embrace similar to a hug, and pressed it against his head. At the same time, he also He comforted me again,

"Fisher, it's okay. It's okay. Your teacher is always thinking about you. You should be happy for this."

"I just"

"Big brother."

At this moment, a clear, seemingly unrippled child's voice whispered softly in Fisher's ears. His pupils shrank slightly, and he turned his head to look around him, only to see a man holding a rag doll. , the little doll wearing a pink dress looked at him expressionlessly.

The little doll is about five years old, with black hair tied back. She is as pretty as the most beautiful and well-crafted person in the world. Even at this moment, she is still a child, but as long as she is not Any fool could see her irrepressible beauty.

The beauty that was not bound by age suddenly reminded Fisher of an acquaintance, an acquaintance he had crossed paths with before.

"Anna."

Yes, Fisher has only seen this beauty in one person, that is, Erwind's test subject, the poor man from the Southern Continent.

It's just that the beauty of the little girl in front of her at this moment is different. If the somewhat abrupt and stiff beauty on Anna's face is imperfect, then the little girl in front of her is really flawless and natural. .

After hearing Fisher's words, the little girl in front of her tilted her head, her face still expressionless, but her tone was a little more doubtful.

"Ana? Is that an acquaintance of Big Brother's? But I'm not Ana, I'm Alicia Lacazette."

".Are you Mr. Hailsson's granddaughter?"

"Um."

With the stunning beauty in front of him and Heller's reminder, Fisher had clearly realized how special the little girl in front of him was. Just as he was about to ask something, Alicia, who was holding the bear in front of him, suddenly asked,

"Big brother, are you Fisher Benavidez? Grandpa's only disciple?"

".I am."

"That's good. Grandpa was always thinking about you before he left. He asked me to give you something, but I don't know you, so I went around asking. Sister Valerie didn't like it, so she asked me to hand it over to you. Give it to her. But I saw that she wanted to give what grandpa left you to the blond sister who often came to the house, so I hid it. "

"Blonde big sister?"

"Um."

Alicia nodded, expressionless and just about to say something, she seemed to hear something, and then continued to say to Fisher,

"It seems that the blond sister is here now, right down there."

".Big sister?"

Fisher was slightly startled, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. He frowned and hurriedly walked out of the office to the balcony. Sure enough, in the courtyard below, a golden carriage and a large group of knights armed to the teeth had appeared.

The flying cardinals filled the sky far and near. Fisher was about to stick his head out, but he shrank back, swallowed his saliva and looked at Alicia behind him, and the corners of her mouth finally curled up a little, and she said,

"That big sister seems to be called Elizabeth."
