The female devils I saved came to my door

After leaving the hotel with Wuming, Charles rented a carriage and got off the carriage when passing by a nearby clothing store, intending to buy two formal attires suitable for watching the opera.

"Nameless, pick out a suitable dress and let's go to the opera house to watch a play."

"Going to the theater?" Wuming was confused: "Now? Why do you want to go to the theater all of a sudden?"

"The classic play of the East Ipolitan Empire - "The Great Adventure of Saint Lovna", an opera adapted from the story of the founding empress of the empire, Lovna. Helps you understand her past."

"Oh--"

Wuming obediently picked out clothes that suited her, but she could not find any suitable clothes for her tall and slender figure. She could only ask a tailor to make a black long skirt, paired with black stockings and leather boots that suited her. The boss lady was kind enough to comb her hair into a bun.

In the past, Wuming never paid much attention to his own dressing.

Looking in the full-length mirror in front of him, Wuming felt a little shy when he saw himself, who rarely took care of his appearance in the past, and how he had transformed from a capable and powerful female bodyguard to such a gentle and elegant lady.

Especially when Ciel looked at her, the embarrassment could make her dig out the soles of her shoes.

"It's time to go." Seeing this, he nodded and gave the tailor and his wife some more tips. The couple happily accepted the coins and complimented them by the way: "Sir, your wife is so beautiful, standing with you. Being together is a match made in heaven.”

These words made Wuming feel even more ashamed.

"Thank you for the compliment."

He said a few perfunctory words and left with Wuming.

They took a carriage and arrived at the Royal Opera House, the largest in Lovnania.

This theater has four or five opera halls that can accommodate thousands of people.The play that must be performed every day is "The Great Adventure of Saint Lovna".

This story tells the story of the great founding empress who, when she was young, was inspired by the Eternal Heavenly Father, followed the guidance of destiny, and chose to leave her hometown - Ipoli, which was still a very small country at the time - to travel across the continent, and during her travels During this period, he had various adventures, continued to grow, and finally returned to his hometown, leading the story of Ipoli to glory.

Because there are more celebrations in recent days, the theater is almost full.Shardeau spent a lot of money to book a private box on the second floor.

After sitting down, the opera began.

The actor who plays the future Queen Lovna is a beautiful red-haired girl. She should have been chosen based on Lovna's portrait.

The first act opens with the girl singing wildly in the fertile fields of Ipoli, wandering around the city, and interacting with her father, a prince, and her mother, a princess.

But the story is slightly different than what Charles tells it.

Because the real Lovna should be a daughter who was ignored by her father, and the relationship between her parents was almost non-existent.

Without Charles, Lovna would have grown up as a penniless and ignorant village woman in a single-parent family.

But in the play, Lovna became the most favored daughter of her parents, a princess given by heaven, and the pearl of Ipoli. She was smart since she was a child and was the darling of heaven.

The actor who plays Lovna has a first-class singing voice, and the stage performance is also amazing. Therefore, even if the plot of the story is outrageous, Wuming quickly became immersed in the story.

Although Sirna also appears in the story, her image is also distorted - in order to save roles in the opera, she is set to be Lovna's half-sister.

But the Hilna in this story is not the genius that everyone is looking for, but a blue-haired girl who is not as favored as her sister because of her reserved and old-fashioned personality, and is a little jealous of her sister.

But Lovna in the opera didn't care and still regarded this sister as her best friend.

Most of this scene is spent describing the daily life of the sisters in Ipoli.

While performing and singing, time passed quickly.

It wasn't until the end of the first act that the plot began to advance: a messenger from the Holy See found Iboli and claimed that the two sisters were geniuses with magical talents. He wanted to take them to Glory City for further studies and make them important figures in the Holy See. .

Sirna yearned for Glory City and longed to become a master of the Holy See, so she accepted the invitation.

Although Lovna also longed to become famous, she loved her family more, so she stayed in Ipoli.

The sisters have since gone their separate ways.

So far, the first act is over.

After watching this performance, Wuming came back to his senses.

"Lord Charles, there are too many changes! Moreover, you are completely absent from the story."

"It's been so long since those things happened, and this is a literary work, so there will definitely be major changes." Charles replied: "This paragraph is already in line with historical facts. What's more, Lovna definitely doesn't want future generations to Knowing that I exist, she also has resentment towards Sirna. This is another repertoire performed by the East Ipoli Empire, and it will definitely improve her image."

"She... what exactly happened?"

"You'll know after you read it," Ciel said.

After the second act begins, it is about Lovna’s experience in her hometown of Ipoli.

This scene has a terrible name: "The Plague."

At the beginning, in the quiet and beautiful rural town of Ipoli, a dead man with blackened hands and feet and bleeding from his orifices appeared.

The man's sudden death sparked a wave of panic.

Then, most of the residents in the Kingdom of Ipoli were infected with this terrible disease and were struggling on the edge of life and death.

Even Lovna's parents were infected with the plague.

The kind-hearted Lovna knelt in front of the holy emblem of the Holy See and prayed to the Eternal Heavenly Father, hoping to save her family.

Her piety moved heaven, and an angel descended.

"Kind Lovna, this plague is a punishment sent by Heavenly Father to punish the mediocre and ignorant people. It is a destined disaster and inevitable. But Father God knows your piety and is willing to save you. Opportunity for everyone.

"Let's go. Heavenly Father will give you the power to change the world, and you will become the only saint!"

The angel said so.

So, the miracle sent by Heavenly Father made Lovna become a saint.

The residents of Ipoli bathed in the holy light emanating from her body, and were saved from the plague of death one after another.

Everyone cheered and shouted the name of Saint Lovna.

However, Lovna received a revelation from her Heavenly Father and could no longer stay in Ipoli.

After becoming a saint, she can no longer stay in Ipoli and be a carefree little princess. There are countless people on the continent who need her to save. She must start her adventure to save residents across the continent and spread the word. Gospel, help for those suffering from the plague.

At this point, the second act ends.

"This..." Wuming looked at Charles, seeking his explanation.

Charles sighed: "As you can see, nameless. About a year after Lovna and I parted... more than a year later, the plague broke out. That plague was called the 'Great Plague of Beztain'. The animal furs sold by traders in the Beztan area were introduced to neighboring countries, and then spread to the entire continent through several port cities.

“In real history, of course the plague spread to Ipoli and infected most of the residents, including Lovna’s mother.

“But unlike the story told in this opera, the real Lovna did not wait for an angel from God the Father, nor did she become a saint to save the residents—these were all made up later.

"The real history is: In order to save her mother, she made a contract with a demon from the underworld."

48. Lovna’s life after Charles left

While Ciel was busy in Glory City, Lovna was waiting eagerly in Ipoli.

In fact, when Charles first left Ipoli, Lovna was really anxious that her days were like a year.

Only by wearing Shire's clothes and lying on Shire's bed could he fall asleep.

It wasn't until Ciel sent back the first letter after he left Great Hessend that she felt a little relieved.

The letter was sent by Charles from the church in a big city, and then passed through the creatures of the underworld driven by the church mages. Then it was delivered to the church in the neighboring country next door to Ipoli. It was then passed through the hands of the postman and circled around the boss. It just arrived in Lovna’s hands.

The letter contained a simple sketch of a tourist city: exquisite art fountains, neat roads paved with bricks and stones, bustling roadside restaurants under night lights, windmills and pastures around the city...

All the simple drawings are in Teacher Charles' familiar and unique picture book style.The attached letter contains Charles's description of the local customs and customs.

More than half a month later, there was another city farther west, the same simple drawing, the same letter written by Charles himself.It also came with a serving of locally bought sweet cookies - they tasted really good.

After that, she could always receive some emails from Teacher Charles, ranging from as short as two weeks to as long as a month, with updates on his current situation and greetings.

Through these postcards, Lovna can also know where the teacher has been.

Last month it was a capital city on the plains, two weeks ago it was a seaside republic with people coming and going, and now it is a coastal port city where ferries dock...

Every scenery has its own characteristics, and each one is completely different from remote Ipoli.

These things made her feel as if the teacher was not far away.

She sorted out all the sketches and letters, marked them one by one on the continental map at home, confirmed the current location of Teacher Charles, and measured the distance between Charles and herself with her hands.

Even if the distance on the map is only one or two knuckles, it is still so far away in this world.

Through fantasy, she also felt that she could be in those scenes, and she was beside those exquisite fountains, bustling markets, and noisy restaurants - she really wished that she was also traveling with her teacher.

Unfortunately, she stayed in Ipoli, and she couldn't tell the teacher how she felt.

Because of this kind of long-distance mailing across countries, you need to apply to major churches in various places and pay a lot of fees. Only those high-level mages affiliated with the church will use their magic to invite the creatures from the Netherworld who have concluded the contract. Carry the mail to the destination.

The cost of one shipment is enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary homesteader for a month.

The savings in Lovna's hands were all left to her by Teacher Charles.

For ordinary poor people, this is a large sum of money, but if you want to send a letter to Shire in a foreign country, the money will be spent quickly.

Not to mention her current appetite.

She is determined to become a warrior who protects Teacher Charles, so she has to do physical training every day. She eats more than men of the same age and spends a lot of money on food.

At this time, she realized that she really could no longer rely on Teacher Charles to take care of her and not give birth at all like she had in the past.

Many children her age are already married.

Or start working day and night on farm work, leaving early every day and coming back late every day, working hard on the barren and rotten land of Ipoli.

Either do housework, pick fruits, grind flour, bake bread, wash clothes, and take care of children every day.

No one has it easy.

Some people of the same age even died suddenly early due to overwork.

Only she, fifteen or sixteen years old, is more leisurely than children.

Because Ciel took care of her in the past.

But it's different now, Teacher Charles is gone.

At this time, she will remember Teacher Charles' instructions before leaving:

"Use the money I leave you properly, take care of yourself and help those in need as you see fit. Become a hero respected by the residents of Ipoli."

That's right, she should also learn to take care of herself.

However, she does not have Sirna's magical talent, and unlike her, she is good at arithmetic, painting, grammar, and debating... When Charles took the two of them to travel in Ipoli, Sirna learned a lot, but Love Na learned nothing.

Even if Sirna doesn't know magic, she is still a genius.

But Lovna was criticized for being clumsy even when she was helping her mother milk cows and make cheese at home.

Writing documents, selecting wheat seeds, presiding over decisions... She also worked hard to do these tasks.

However, when she handed the other party the documents she had worked so hard to write, the crooked handwriting always made people frown;

The wheat seeds she worked so hard to help others choose were not as good as those experienced and old farmers randomly selected;

As for presiding over decisions and helping others to arbitrate...then she might as well go to her old and confused Grandpa King.

She worked hard to run around and help others like her teacher, but after working hard for a long time, she only received one or two perfunctory compliments such as "not bad".

Everyone just thinks she is a kind-hearted but incompetent little girl.

People will only respect Sirna and Ciel.

This made Lovna a little hurt.

Thinking about it carefully, the only advantage I have over Sirna is physical fitness.

In addition, I have learned some martial arts from Mr. Charles, so I can show off with this alchemy dagger, I have learned some methods of making simple herbal medicine, I know how to make hunting traps, and I can do some crude carpentry work - that's all.

Just when she was thinking hard about how to live up to her teacher's expectations, the opportunity came.

Recently, the wild animals in the Everglades have been very active. Many wild boars, wild dogs and poisonous snakes have appeared in a nearby dense forest.They ruined a lot of crops that residents worked hard to cultivate, causing a lot of trouble.

After King Ipoli received the news, the solution he gave was to send two or three guards to go around and put up a few scarecrows to scare the wild animals.

The local residents were very upset, saying that if Mr. Charles and Miss Hilna were still here, the problem could be solved easily.

But none of them were there.

This made Lovna feel like she had something to offer.

Relying on the skills taught to her by Teacher Charles, she made two or three animal traps, and she almost cut her hands during the process, but at any rate she finished it.
