  Chapter 227 The face hidden under the hood

A few minutes later.

Lucia and Grey have moved away from the realm of the snow forest, appearing on a plain several kilometers away.

The all around of the plain is very empty, even with Lucia’s eyesight, there is no human population. There are only a few artificially planned nurseries lying on the ground, but there is no crop in this season. .

The two are walking side by side on the plain.

"The train has left, how are we going to catch it?"

Gray looked at the deserted scene around her, her face under her hood showing a little confusion.

"There are traces of artificial planning in the surrounding land, indicating that some people may live here."

Lucia looked all around, "And since there are no people living around here Locally, there must be vehicles at home, and we can ask them to borrow them."

"so that's how it is."

Grey suddenly used her enhanced vision. , Looked towards the surroundings, trying to find the traces of the house.

It’s just that, I don’t know if the surrounding area is too empty. No matter how they find it, there is no sign that anyone has survived.

"Speaking of which, Grey, I always have a question for you."

With no house at all, Lucia turned her head and turned to Grey Asked: "Do you know what happened in the Fourth Holy Grail War of Teacher II in the past?"

"Is Master in the Holy Grail War?"

Grey Hearing this was stunned, not knowing whether to answer Lucia's question, but after thinking of Lucia's actions before the seal designation, she decided to speak up.

"That is also a secret to Master. Although there are many people in the clock tower who know about the incident, not many people know what happened. Master has always avoided talking about it... I also learned about some of the master’s past from Miss Linis."

According to Grey, the real name of Elmero II is Weber Wilwitt.

Born in a magician family with only three generations of bloodline, he was born with inferior aptitude, but he has a natural longing for magic, so after the death of his mistress mother, he ran out of wealth and entered the clock Tower to learn magic.

During the study of magic in the clock tower, the second king at the time and the former monarch Elmero, also known as Lenis’s big brother-Kenneth Elmero Archizol There was a conflict between twips.

At that time, he was too reckless and arrogant, stole the sacred relic prepared by Kenneth-the fragment of the red cloak, and went to the Far East to participate in the Holy Grail War.

His servant who came out of summon through that cloak fragment was the greatest conqueror in history, Iskandar, known as Alexander the Great Emperor in history.

Then, as Lucia knew, the former monarch Elmero, who was an elite of the magic world, died in the Holy Grail War, but the third-rate magician like King II survived. Come down.

"Since then, the master has become very self-blame for killing the previous monarch, thinking that if he hadn't stole the cloak fragments, the previous monarch would not have died, so in Lai Miss Niss only agreed when he threatened him to become Elmero II."

Becoming a monarch with only a trifling level of magic, the clock tower is not a piece of work in which the power is very serious. Good thing, if it wasn't for the guilt of the El Mero faction, he must have promised at that time.

"According to Miss Laines, Master’s personality has undergone tremendous changes before and after the Holy Grail War. Before participating in the Holy Grail War, he was so stunned that he couldn’t listen to anyone’s words. At the clock tower, it’s like a person has changed."

Grey relayed the narrative from Linis to Lucia, "The reason for this change in his personality seems to be because of his summon. For the sake of the follower, I learned a lesson to change the mind from the Alexander Great Emperor."

Lucia then understood.

No wonder the second world was easily defeated by the words of the female servant. If the courtier who can change the personality of the king conquered him, then he would be hit like that. through.

"What about you?"

Lucia asked Grey again: "It takes only about four months for you and Teacher II to become master and disciple? But I see you He seems to be very trusting and loyal to him, and even willing to lend Yad to me, is there a deep reason for this?"

After finishing speaking, Lucia added, "If not It’s okay if it’s easy to say, I’m just curious."

"Under..."

The sudden change in topic made Grey stagnant and stopped directly. Both hands tightly held the collar of the black cloak.

"Previously, Zai Xia also told Mr. Liangyi that Xia Xia came from a cemetery in a certain countryside."

Gray paused, her head lowered, "Xia Xia The countryside where you are located is actually related to the magic world, but it is different from the pursuit of the clock tower magicians who want to reach []. The pursuit of the village below is to'resurrect a certain past hero'."

Lucia thought of Yade's dress, which is essentially the holy spear in the legend of King Arthur, and she knew it slightly.

I'm afraid that the'hero of the past' she referred to should be King Arthur, right?

"If you want to resurrect that hero from the past, you have to bring her body, spirit, and soul into one, so everyone in the village uses that hero as a prototype to create offspring. I want the body closest to the hero to become a bridge for the hero’s resurrection."

Gray whispered, the whole person seemed to be plunged into memories of the past, "I just have It’s just a little better aptitude. Although the family I was in at that time was very ordinary, but now I think of it very warmly, until ten years ago—"

"Ten years ago, although I don’t know the reason, but Ji Xia’s body, including the skeleton and face, have undergone tremendous changes. According to everyone in the village, Xia Xia should gradually become that hero."

"Later, the village Suddenly, everyone in the next regards the next as the key to reviving the hero, and will be called the god son, the Holy Son in the next, and respect the next as the hero...Even the father and mother in the next are no exception. "

This seems to touch on a topic that Grey is rather reluctant to mention.

But Grey didn’t mean to stop talking, maybe it’s because Lucia’s character set has gained unimaginable trust from her, and the relationship with her has reached a point where you can tell each other before you see it. Sincerely, she continued to tell Lucia about the past.

"Everyone in the village has great expectations for Lixia. They all hope that Lixia can inherit the soul of that hero and become that hero...Xiaxia does not hate everyone, nor does it hate this one. Face."

While Gray said this, she slowly took off her hood, revealing her cheeks that were hidden until now.

That can be said to be a very beautiful face without a doubt. The facial features are as exquisite as the porcelain carefully made by God, even in Lucia's eyes, it is enough to rank in the top three beauty he was born with.
