Chapter 6 Oh, Poor Raven
In the guest room of Eagle Castle, a beauty was weakly leaning on the bed. Her golden hair was stuck to her forehead with sweat, and her plump chest was shaking violently. Ups and downs, her pretty face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and even her lips didn't have much blood.
Her slender arms supported the edge of the bed and wanted to stand up, but she immediately fell down weakly, her brows were tightly knitted, and a cry of pain leaked from her lips and teeth: "Hiss——"
< br>This is Lux’s seventh effort.
A second-level magician doesn’t even have the strength to stand up. It’s so embarrassing!
This reminded her of what her teacher, the seventh-level magician Crouch, said about her: "A qualified magician, an excellent theologian, but a failed priest."
The teacher got it right again!
She thought angrily.
Obviously he wanted to prove his ability, so he came to Eagle Town to serve as a priest, but he didn't expect that he fainted in Eagle Castle not long after he arrived!
And he was...
When she thought of what happened before she fell into coma, her face turned ugly, her brows tightened, her mouth pouted, and she punched the bed board angrily.
When I regain my strength, I will make sure you look good!
Then he frowned because of the soreness of his muscles: "It hurts, it hurts..."
Dong-dong-dong, there was a knock on the door.
“Who?” Lux looked over warily.
"Raven Griffith." A magnetic voice passed through the door: "Dear Priest Lux, may I come in?"
This voice was calm and the words were elegant and appropriate, which made Lux's The vigilance was lifted a lot: “Yes, Please come in.”
Then, a tall and handsome man walked in, pushing a dining cart with a sincere and hearty smile on his face, and his dark eyes were like black crystal. It is thorough and makes people fall in love with it as soon as they see it.
This person seems familiar. Have we met before?
Before Lux could think about it, the dining car was pushed in front of her.
The lid was opened, and the hot water vapor dissipated. Inside were a few pieces of perfectly toasted white bread, a bowl of oatmeal, a cup of hot milk with curdled milk, and thinly sliced and fried bacon. .
This immediately attracted Lux's full attention, allowing her to temporarily put all questions behind her.
After sleeping for two days, she was really hungry.
Raven carefully adjusted the position of the dining car to make it a reliable dining table, and then tied the napkin for Lux with both hands deftly and politely.
"Thank you to the Lord of Light for your gift." Lux closed her eyes and prayed, and then began to enjoy her first breakfast in Eagle Castle.
Raven watched quietly from the side.
A beauty is a beauty. Even if she hasn’t eaten for two days, her dining behavior is still elegant.
Her green onion-like fingers held a table knife, cut off a small piece of bread, and skillfully wrapped it in sliced bacon.
Tan's mouth was slightly opened, and the silver spoon brought the meat roll into his mouth. The rich aroma of meat and wheat blended together. Lux was immediately conquered by this simple sense of satisfaction, and her eyes curled up. It turned into a cute crescent moon, and the eyelashes were trembling slightly.
She ate elegantly, but not slowly, and quickly wiped out her breakfast.
"Thank you." At this time, Lux finally regained some ability to think. She put the knife and fork back on the plate and wiped her cherry red lips with a napkin: "Sorry, I'm really hungry."
< br>"I'm glad you like my craftsmanship." Raven said with a smile: "There are still some in the kitchen if needed."
"No need." Lux rejected Raven's proposal and slowly raised her head: "I was rude before. Since your surname is Griffith, I wonder what your relationship with Mr. Donald is...?"
"I It's his nephew."
"That's right..." Lux nodded suddenly: "Oh, no wonder you look so familiar."
Raven couldn't do it this time.
Did she forget what happened that day?
No one would be so stupid, right?
Or is she deliberately pretending not to remember so that she can relax her vigilance and wait until she returns to the church to sue herself?
Thinking of this, Raven asked tentatively: "Miss Lux, do you still remember what happened before you fell into coma?"
"Before coma..." Lux's index finger as white as jade gently rubbed her temples: "I only remember that Mr. Donald invited me to help him identify a magic item. The two of us came to the secret room and I had a drink. Tea, and then I don’t know anything anymore.”
“When I woke up again, I found that someone actually...” She became more and more clear as she spoke, and became angrier as she spoke.
She is a magician, a priest of the Church of Light! Her body is destined to be dedicated to the Lord of Light!
But that damn guy actually did that kind of thing to her, it was simply, simply unforgivable!
She will never forget that person’s appearance until her death. He has black hair, black eyes, and a high nose bridge. Although he looks very similar to Raven, he looks much more wretched and wretched...< br>
Wait, they look alike?
She raised her head and looked at Raven, her eyes widened: "I remembered, it was you!"
Leaven was also confused, she really just now Recognize yourself. Could it be that you were starving before? !
"Priest Lux, please listen to my explanation..."
"Great Lord of Light, please allow me to call upon your gift——"
Looking at the light blooming on her hand, Raven sighed in his heart, but at this time he was not in a hurry. He lowered his head and counted his fingers: "Three, two, one!"
As soon as he finished speaking, With a thud, Lux immediately fell onto the bed.
As soon as he entered the door, he opened the Eyes of Truth and saw clearly that the energy in Lux's body had not recovered at all. Now that he was overdrawn, how could he not faint?
But now it seems that this Lux's mind is really pure, and Raven's plan in his heart has become clear.
A few minutes later, Lux woke up leisurely, looked at Raven sitting in front of her and screamed: "Ah, you, don't come over! I want to see Baron Donald!"
There was a trace of sadness in Raven's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Uncle Donald... passed away."
"What!?" Lux was shocked: "How could..."
"It seems you really don't remember anything." Raven sighed: "That is a tragedy."
"You should know that Uncle Donald practices bloody fighting spirit, and the properties of energy often affect a person's thinking and soul."
Lux nodded slowly.
According to the theory of the Church of Light, positive energy will make practitioners become more kind and calm, while negative energy will make practitioners become dark, extreme and even evil.
As a church priest, Lux firmly believes in this.
"My poor Uncle Donald." Raven took a deep breath, rubbed his eyes with his fingers to squeeze out two tears: "That night, the bloody fighting spirit in his body suddenly went wild, and you Knocked out, and I heard the noise and rushed to the scene..."
Lux asked doubtfully : "Did you save me?"
"No, although I really want to say so." Raven shook his head: "But I am just a mortal, but Uncle Donald is a second-level extraordinary. I can't be His opponent's eyes were red at that time, and his whole body was burning with fighting spirit like a cloak..."
Speaking of this, a trace of doubt appeared on Raven's face: "He could have killed you and me, but for some reason, he stood there, fighting with each other with his left and right hands..." "He said to me ." Raven swallowed, as if he didn't want to recall that scene: "'Gu...kill me...'"
"Of course I wouldn't do that, he is my uncle!"
"Maybe he saw my thoughts, Uncle Donald threw his sword at my feet, he said to me Say, tell me..."
Lux was completely immersed in the story and asked: "What did he say?"
Raven pinched his eyebrows with his right hand, as if falling into deep and long memories:
"'Leaven, I know you are a kind and simple child.'"
" 'But as a noble, you bear the honor and glory of the Griffith family on your shoulders. The future. '"
"'I am not a qualified parent. The Eagle Territory is declining under my rule, and now I am committing the heinous crime of killing the priest again!'"
"'Now! , it is you who must put an end to my sins'"
"'Pick up the sword! For the glory of the Griffith family! Kill me!'"
As he spoke, Raven's tears were already pouring down - he was pinching his fingernails The flesh really hurts!
Lux has been completely captured by the story weaved by Raven, her sapphire eyes are rippling, and she is wiping her tears with her fingers: "Oh, the great Baron Donald, he is really an amazing man, very good. Few people can resist the evil will brought about by the violent rage."
Boom.
Raven suddenly knelt down on one knee: "Priest Lux, I want to confess my sins! That was my uncle, but I, I picked up the sword and gave him to..."
"Please represent the Church of Light, judge me!"
Lacus shook her head and said: "No, Mr. Raven, this is not your fault..."
"This is mine. Wrong!" Raven interrupted Lux loudly: "Not only did I kill Uncle Donald, In order to inherit the title, I concealed the true cause of his death, and left you in the castle without reporting it to the Holy See!"
"This is all my sin..."
Look! Seeing the tears on Raven's handsome face, Lux suddenly felt a little regretful.
She didn't expect that this simple and kind-hearted young man would hold such a big secret in his heart and kill his uncle with his own hands. What a terrible thing it was!
In order to fulfill his uncle's last wish, he had to hide the truth and keep such a terrible secret firmly in his heart.
Lux could almost imagine the scene.
In order to protect Donald's reputation, Raven insisted that Donald died normally, and then refused all visits to the body, faced the incomprehension and hostility of all relatives and friends alone, and bore the reputation of being cold-blooded, selfish and greedy. , suffered this unfair injustice.
What a pitiful and strong person!
But as a person involved, not only did I not know this, but I misunderstood that he had any inappropriate thoughts about me. This was really inappropriate.
If he really had something on his mind, how could he still be lying here unscathed?
“Oh, my poor Raven.” Lux put her arm around Raven’s shoulders, as if comforting a sister in the church who had been scolded by her mother, and pulled him into her arms:
“It’s not your fault , you have upheld Baron Donald's reputation and fulfilled his last wish. You have not harmed any innocent people."
"Cry, cry, the merciful Lord of Light will forgive all your sins. ”
Raven's breathing stopped at this moment.
Lux's mind is as broad as the sea.
But it is softer and more fragrant than the sea. It is the unique fragrance of a pure girl.
He took a deep breath and then whimpered softly.
Ten minutes later, Raven slowly raised his head, his eyes bright and penetrating: "Priest Lux, thank you for your comfort and consideration."
"I will announce the truth about my uncle's death now, and I will never be ashamed of the teachings of the God of Light."
Lux shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Raven, you can't do this. . ”
“Mr. Donald used his last will to protect my life and the reputation of the Griffith family. I will not allow his last wishes to be disturbed. His reputation must be maintained.”
Leaven showed a moved expression, but still said: "But this is not in line with the teachings of the Lord of Light."
"It is the Lord of Light's duty to let his followers be happy. Holy wish, and as his agent, I am also obliged to practice his teachings." Lux held out her hand with determination on her face: "I am willing to bear this responsibility with you."
The bright sunlight shines on Lux's face through the window, making her face look so pure and sacred at this moment.
For a moment, Raven even felt a little guilty.
This was the first time in time that someone helped him sincerely, not because of profit or calculation.
But Raven will never tell the truth. He can only keep this in mind first and then compensate her in the future.
“Thank you for your trust, Priest Lux.” Taking Lux’s hand, Raven completed a hand kiss in an upright manner.
This time he restrained his instinct.
The originally stiff atmosphere melted away.
Lacus said: "Since Mr. Donald has passed away, Mr. Raven will be the next baron. I am the priest of the Eagle Town Church. We can have many opportunities to make up for this time together. Sin. "
Raven nodded: "I'm looking forward to that day, but I've just arrived in the territory. I don't know what things need special attention?"
"I don't know much about territory management. I don't know much about Eagle Town." You'd better ask Butler Gordon."
Lux thought thoughtfully and said: "But there is one thing you need to pay attention to. In two months, the bloody highlands to the west will usher in the rainy season. At this time, there will be bandits and horse thieves coming down from above to plunder supplies and wealth. "
"Baron Donald was in charge of Eagle Castle before, so no one dared to attack, but now... I can only suggest that you strengthen the defense of the territory."< br>
Leaven nodded slowly: "Thank you, please rest first. I will go to discuss and prepare with Mr. Gordon."
"No, I have to leave too. ." Lux regained some strength and stood up on the bed: "I am a priest. Since I can stand up, I have an obligation to stick to my duty."
"I will send you."< br>
A few minutes later, watching Lux's figure leave the gate of Eagle Castle, the last stone in Raven's heart fell to the ground.
The troubles Donald left him had finally been solved.
It’s time to show off your ambitions!
"Mr. Gordon, find Eric!"
