Chapter 274 Another possibility
Goletia Academy, infirmary.
"Sorry for scolding you." Ian sat on the hospital bed, carefully holding the breakfast brought by Lilith, feeling a little helpless. His black hair fell down softly like a docile little black dog.
I don't know where Phoebe went to collect inspiration for painting during this holiday. The teacher on duty now is a relatively unfamiliar one. When Lilith came in the morning, she was scolded. How can you let people work after their wounds have just healed without resting? Even a magician can't exploit the guardian like this!
Lilith kept nodding in agreement to the teacher's teachings, not daring to say a word in rebuttal. She herself had an unusual physique and had taken other people's resilience for granted. And Ian was really tolerant. After being scolded today, they found out that his ribs were broken. Even so, he still let her tell him what to do without saying a word.
"You really should apologize. Don't do this again. Although I am indeed a capitalist, I am still a capitalist with a conscience, okay?" Lilith stood by the bed with her arms folded across her chest, pointing at Ian.
"How can you be like this? The body is the capital of revolution. What if it is discovered too late and the root of the disease cannot be cured? Do you want me to be responsible for it for the rest of my life?" Lilith wanted to poke his stubborn and stubborn mind.
Ian raised his head when he heard this, his eyes sparkling.
"What are you looking at? Eat quickly. You will recover faster if you are full. I asked the chef at home to make this. It must be delicious and nutritious." Lilith only has Ian as her guardian now, and Lucas is at most half a guardian. Therefore, she must not let this only child die.
Ian nodded when he heard that. When Lilith thought he was about to eat, this guy started praying first.
Tsk—Lilith smacked her lips secretly, being a believer is really troublesome.
"It smells good." After Ian finished praying, he picked up the still steaming soup bowl and took a sip of the chicken soup that Lilith brought.
"Of course, slow cooking!" Lilith immediately became proud. "So you should be thanking me, not that illusory... ahem, you know what I mean."
"Yeah..." Ian nodded obediently again.
Tsk, Ian is too honest, making her feel like he is bullying her. Lilith felt a little embarrassed again - "Forget it, thank whoever you want, I don't care."
"I originally wanted to help you explore that place as quickly as possible before it collapses, but I didn't expect to be the one who holds you back." Ian apologized again after taking a few bites of food.
"It's okay." Lilith waved her hand. "There will be another chance in the future...if those gods don't come after us and eat up the place completely."
Ian was at a loss for words after hearing this. He buried his head in his food and asked after a while, "Lilith... everyone says you have the highest elemental affinity. You have such a high talent. Didn't the church accept you back then?"
Lilith touched her chin after hearing this, and sat on the stool beside Ian's bed, reminiscing, "To be honest, if it weren't for... I might have become a god-favored person. I showed miracles at a very young age, but..."
Lilith recalled the chaos when she awakened her memory, and the joke that teacher Simon made, and couldn't help but chuckle - "But plans can never keep up with changes. I think it's pretty good now."
"Is that so..." Ian continued to eat with his head down, but Lilith could see a hint of disappointment in his drooped shoulders.
"Hey, hey, what's the matter?" Lilith moved closer, trying to see what he was thinking from his eyes hidden by his hair. Ian was so scared that he sat up straight on the bed and distanced himself from Lilith.
“No…” He looked away in panic, “It’s just that, I just thought, if you join the church and become a person favored by God… No, maybe you will become a saint. You are so powerful…
And I... I will be a Knight of Light, and the place where we first meet may be the Temple of Light, or the White Garden behind the temple..." He fantasized about another possibility, with a strange look in his lowered eyes.
"Is that so?" Lilith imagined Ian wearing white armor. Hehe, he must be very heroic! But if she had to stay there in a white robe, forget it!
"It's not bad now!" Lilith didn't continue what Ian said. "Even though we have deviated from the original path, we still became friends here. It shows that people are destined to meet each other, right?"
These words really made Ian happy. He nodded happily and stopped talking about church matters.
Because Lilith felt guilty towards Ian, she brought him meals and visited him every day during his hospitalization, rain or shine, and chatted with him to pass the time. Although the taciturn Ian was not a good chat partner, Lilith could chat with him for a long time.
Lilith talked about her various speculations about the Emerald Sanctuary, the pain of feeling that advanced spells were becoming more and more complicated and profound after entering the senior year, and the worry about her adolescent sister's height. She poured out all her thoughts to Ian. It was not known whether it was because the teacher in the infirmary was a miraculous doctor or because she talked too much nonsense, but after she used Ian as a tree hole for a few days, Ian announced that he seemed to be well.
"Well, all right then." Lilith said goodbye to Ian with regret in the sunset, feeling a little reluctant to leave.
But fortunately, a new chat partner is in place.
Katherine returned from Highgarden in the moonlight.
"Feel sorry."
As soon as they met, Catherine started to apologize.
"I wanted to discuss the stability of the dragon hybrid bloodline with my mother, but she had something urgent to do halfway through the conversation, so I didn't have time to tell her to keep it a secret... Now my whole family knows about it, including Leila..."
"It's okay. Why is everyone saying sorry these days? Really..." Lilith hugged her little sister nonchalantly. She had already coaxed Leila anyway.
"I will control Canion and stop him from talking nonsense." Catherine still felt a little guilty.
"I believe you!" Lilith smiled, and couldn't wait to share her experiences during this holiday with Catherine. "You will never imagine how wonderful this holiday was!"
"That underground city?" Catherine only vaguely heard the purpose of their trip.
"Well, this time it's not a rumor. We found the truth this time! That place used to be the residence of the elves!"
"Elf?" Catherine was indeed attracted.
That's right, that's right. Under the street light, Lilith turned around and walked backwards face to face with Catherine. With Catherine watching the road, she was not worried about falling at all. She gestured with her hands and feet to demonstrate the magical flipping of the Emerald Sanctuary, as well as various speculations about why it became like that.
"...Oh, there's more!" Lilith clapped her hands and playfully kept everyone in suspense. "Guess what else we found in there?"
"Gargoyle." Catherine answered, looking ahead.
"Huh?" Lilith was shocked.
"——How did you guess that?!"
Catherine did not answer her, but just looked behind Lilith at the dormitory building hidden in the woods.
Stars float above the dark night sea, and the bright moonlight slowly flows down, illuminating the small building in the night. Every night in the past, there was always a gargoyle squatting quietly on the edge of the roof until the sky gradually brightened.
But now, Catherine clearly saw a group of dark shadows crossing the galaxy, slowly descending in the moonlight, and forming a row on the roof of the small building.
