Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 34 34. Knights in Armor

"Durberwell?" Licia knew that the person sitting in front of her father was the head of the Derberwell family.

Carrie opened her eyes wide. "Well, yes, you should know it."

Licia nodded.

"There are too many illegitimate children of nobles, and there are only a few who are so poorly behaved like him." But Lier didn't question why Licia was suddenly interested in the clown Pudding Kit, she just told Licia many things.

Including the d'Urberwell family, how did they step by step from the small aristocrats in the seaside city to today's central aristocratic circle, and finally won the support of the church.

Licia didn't find it strange at all. After remembering some important things, she bid farewell to Teacher Ke Lier and went back.

There is still a distance from the cabin to the dormitory, and the luminous circle on the road has not been too bright. Licia feels that it is especially dark today.

'what happened? ' She looked around vigilantly, but there were no patrolling soldiers on the road, and there was no sound.

Only the sound of her boots stepping on the slate, da da da.

"The eyes of the Dead Sea are about to open."

Like a whisper, Licia heard many different voices whispering these words in her ears.

"Who!" Facing the unknown, Licia threw out the silver thorn with her left hand, and held the short blade on her chest with her right hand.

A big black horse sat on a pair of armor. "I come from the Eye of the Dead Sea." There were still many different voices.

Licia found that her whole body had been shrouded in mist, and looking through the helmet of the armor, it was empty.

Look carefully, the black horse has long been a rotten torso.

"You? You are the black knight?" Licia's curiosity actually got the upper hand. "Are you alive?"

The black horse raised its front hooves, and then fell down. The armored body leaned down, almost touching Licia's head.

"Didn't you call me?" It was very difficult for Licia to distinguish the overlapping voices.

Licia could even smell a damp and foul smell, like the fusion of sea water and blood.

"I give you the ability."

A biting chill shot out from the rusty armor, penetrated into Licia's eyebrows, along her cheeks, and reached her neck.

"Hiss." Licia couldn't help covering the heraldic pattern on her neck with her hands.

"What ability?" The neck that seemed to be frozen in one piece made Licia feel her face was stiff.

"The ability to summon me."

call?Summon a suit of armor?Is there still a dead horse?

But she still had words of praise on her lips. "Thank you for your help, but how to call."

The arm of the armor raised, pointing to Lycia's neck.

The horse, which was clearly a rotting corpse, snorted suddenly.

The fog dissipated quickly, and the light returned to the luminous array beside the road.

Licia touched the temporary coat of arms pattern on her neck, and the frost spread along her fingertips. Do you need to recite another set of oaths?

"Knight of the Eye of the Dead Sea, I summon you!"

A gust of icy wind blew away Lycia's hair, and the black horse and armor reappeared.

"Don't call me casually!!!"

Licia froze for a moment, then nodded. "Hold, sorry, sir."

The armor seemed to show a disdainful expression, then flicked the whip and disappeared again.

Licia tidied up her attire and continued walking towards the dormitory.

When did she summon this set of armor? Could it be related to her use of the six-pointed star?

The flower of the black thorn?Are the legends of Kaguya Knight and Thorn true?

Licia shook her head.

She didn't dare to show this ability to summon strange powers.

"Miss Licia." The housekeeper Ning Tong looked at Licia's hands clasped on her chest and huddled in the cloak. "It's too cold, please go back to the dormitory early next time."

Licia stepped into the bedroom building and nodded towards him. "Thank you for reminding."

Then he took out his hand, rubbed it twice, and stuck it on the frozen face and neck.

She hoped that the housekeeper wouldn't see anything unusual about her.

"Oh, look who it is? The distinguished heir of the Campbell family, Miss Licia." Exaggerated laughter sounded in the cafeteria.

Licia suspected for a moment that she had entered the Cinderella script by mistake. The noble lady in front of her looked familiar, but she didn't seem to be from the Academy of Thorns.

Karina's exaggerated laughter got Buchton's applause.

The other nobles dared not speak out. Even if the Campbell family declined, it would still be a duke. Since the founding of the country, it had stood beside the royal family.

"How can there be such a stupid person." Licia felt that contempt was the best way to treat her, so she glanced up and down at Karina, and then sat down near the dining outlet as usual.

"Hello, I need a lamb chop, um, and a vegetable soup." She sighed. Fortunately, the Campbell family has strong assets and can maintain a high standard of living without relying on her father's salary.

Otherwise, like Si Tao's family, she probably wouldn't be able to afford the expensive meals on the second floor.

Seeing that Licia was not ashamed or annoyed at all, Karina was a little embarrassed.

She happened to see Lin Xi walking in, like a rescued soldier, she ran over and took Lin Xi's hand.

Caroline, who didn't want to cause trouble, picked up the dinner plate, picked up her axe, placed it opposite Licia, and sat down.

"When the weather gets warmer, in mid-March, there will be a study tour to the lower reaches of the Bei River to clean up strange animals." Caroline's hair was tied up too tightly, and her two eyebrows were raised high.

"Can I go?" Licia poured a cup of black tea for the senior with the best ax skills in the academy.

Caroline said loudly on purpose. "Of course! I will recommend you to His Highness."

Then she turned around on purpose and glanced at Karina who was talking to Linxi.

But Licia herself didn't care about such things. "Thank you, Caroline."

Thank you for her help, and thank you for her willingness to recommend myself.

"Is your heraldic power a shield?" Licia remembered seeing the diamond-shaped heraldry on her forehead.

Caroline nodded, then touched her copper axe. "yes."

"I remember that the power of your coat of arms is similar to mine, and it can also activate shields." Caroline said with interest.

Licia nodded. "However the presence is erratic, it sometimes doesn't appear."

Now she has a rough guess in her heart, and she will go to see Teacher Ke Lier at night to verify whether the invisible shield only works on creatures with positive favorability.

"Try more, after all, two people with the same coat of arms will have very different abilities."

The cook brought Licia's food, and she spread the napkin herself, then picked up the spoon.

"Well, I'll figure it out by mid-March."
